We are taking on the Three Peaks for Mental Health

On 3 October 2026, colleagues from Barclays and Mastercard will come together to take on the iconic Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, raising vital funds and awareness for two incredible mental health charities: James' Place and Samaritans.

The challenge involves completing a demanding 24-mile circular route across the Yorkshire Dales, conquering the three peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in a single day. With over 5,000 feet of ascent, it will test our endurance, resilience and determination, all for causes that make a life-changing difference to people across the UK.

Why We're Fundraising:

Mental health affects every one of us, whether personally, through our families, friends or colleagues. By taking on this challenge, we hope not only to raise funds but also to encourage open conversations, reduce stigma and demonstrate the power of coming together to support one another.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help provide vital support to people facing some of life's toughest moments.

Supporting James' Place:

James' Place is a charity dedicated to saving the lives of men in suicidal crisis. Through its centres, the charity provides free, life-saving treatment and practical support to help men find hope and a path forward when they need it most.

Named in memory of James Miller, who tragically lost his life to suicide at the age of 21, James' Place believes that suicide is preventable and works tirelessly to provide immediate intervention and support to men struggling with their mental health.

Fundraising for James' Place helps ensure more men can access specialist support during times of crisis and receive the help they deserve.

Supporting Samaritans:

Samaritans is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, offering a safe place for anyone who is struggling to talk, be heard and find support without judgement.

Every year, Samaritans responds to millions of contacts from people experiencing loneliness, emotional distress, despair or thoughts of suicide. Their volunteers provide compassionate listening and support whenever it is needed most.

By fundraising for Samaritans, we are helping ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

How You Can Help:

Our goal is to raise as much as possible for these two incredible charities while raising awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing.
