Operation Yorkshire 3 Peaks for Scotty's Little Soldiers.

Are you ready to take on an extraordinary challenge and make a lasting impact? Join us for operation Y3P, where we’ll march 24 miles of rugged, mountainous terrain to support Scotty's Little Soldiers.

This incredible British charity provides vital care and support to children and young people who have experienced the death of a parent who is serving, or who has served, in the British Armed Forces. Founded in 2010 by Nikki Scott, after the heartbreaking loss of her husband Lee “Scotty” Scott, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2008. The charity has become a source of hope and resilience for bereaved military families. Together, we can honour the sacrifices of our service men and women and help ensure their children receive the guidance, resources and joyful moments they deserve.

This is your moment to make a meaningful difference! By joining Operation Y3P, you’ll not only tackle an inspiring challenge but also contribute to an incredible cause. Whether you’re marching alongside us, donating, volunteering, or spreading the word, every effort brings us closer to creating brighter futures for the children Scotty’s Little Soldiers supports. Let’s come together as a community of compassion, unity, and remembrance to show these children they’re never alone. Will you join us on Operation Y3P and help bring smiles and hope to these young heroes?
