Story

Meet Henry (11), Thea (10), Billy (9), and Finn (8) - four amazing young adventurers who have set themselves a big challenge, to walk the entire 20-mile Ullswater Way in the Lake District this August to raise money for Mencap, a charity close to their hearts.

The Ullswater Way is a stunning but tough circular route around one of the Lake District’s most beautiful lakes, packed with hills, forests, and long stretches of open trail. It’s no small feat, especially for children their age, but they’re determined to go the distance!

They’re doing this to support Mencap’s vital work in improving the lives of people with learning disabilities. Every step they take will help raise awareness and much-needed funds for a cause that makes a real difference to individuals and families across the UK.

Please support their journey with a donation, no matter how big or small. Your encouragement will help keep little legs moving and spirits high, as they take on this incredible challenge.

Thank you!
