On the 10th June we will be tackling the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, a 24-mile round trip, taking on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough with well over 1000m of ascent - while raising funds for our local Warwick Hospital Children’s Ward “Young minds Matter” Appeal.

The appeal is to support the project which will ensure every £££ raised will help towards young children who are hospitalised and are undergoing treatment whilst having to tackle their mental health and well-being.

Your donation will enhance the ward, provide specialist equipment and provide a home-from-home experience for every child under the age of 18 years.

Please donate generously - THANK YOU FOR MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
