Brecon Beacons Hike 2026 · 6 June 2026 ·

The charity's core intervention, known as GAMEPLAN, comprises three academies that support participants' journeys from prison into education, employment ot training. This hike speaks to the first our three pillars; Exercise, Education and Ethos.

Story

You will all know that we both talk quite a bit. We also walk. The 2025 3PP hike was one of the highlights of the year and we had the most incredible support from friends, family and colleagues. So we’re back and we’re gunning for the 2026 trek. This year we take on a trek in the Brecon Beacons; hiking East from Talypont Reservoir to the iconic Pen y Fan, the highest peak in South Wales, and back.

The group will be a mix of 3 Pillars supporters, graduates of 3Pillars programmes and members of the 3Pillars team. Together we will share a meaningful challenge and the achievement of tackling the Brecon Beacons as one group. We will walk, talk, listen, reflect and support one another.

For many participants, the Brecon Beacons will be their first time in open mountains, sharing the challenge, supporting one another and discovering something new about themselves along the way. The journey builds resilience, teamwork and personal growth with every step, embodying the ethos of 3PP. This from a graduate on last year's hike:
