Bollocksed Smithy Five - fundraiser for New Beginnings Foundation CIO

Brad Wilkinson is raising money for New Beginnings Foundation CIO

Bullock Smithy Hike - 56 Mile Ultra · 6 September 2025

We work closely with families who are known to Children’s Social Care. Many of our parents have experienced trauma and/or abuse as children. By working closely with parents we support them to develop into the parents they want to be and in return, they teach other parents how to do the same.

Story

We’ve left it a bit late for donations, but better late than never!

We’re taking on the Bullock Smithy Hike – 56 mile (ULTRA) across the Peak District in under 24 hours - **THIS WEEKEND (6 & 7TH SEPTEMBER)** – we want to raise money for New Beginnings in Stockport, a local charity that helps keep children in the child protection system safe by supporting parents to break cycles of trauma and build better futures.

There’s five of us – Brad, Tom, Ell, Darren, and Joe – and while some of us have been training like pros (me), others are relying more on “natural talent” (or sheer stubbornness), so it could get interesting. We hope to smash it in 20 hours, but there’s every chance our legs will disagree. Either way, we’ll crawl, hobble, or shuffle across that finish line within 24 hours, fuelled by snacks, good laughs, and your support.

Every donation helps change a family’s story for the better!!
