We're a team of 22 people hiking Scafell Pike to raise money for Phoenix. At 3,209ft feet (978 metres) it’s the tallest mountain in England and well-known as one of the fells on the National Three Peaks Challenge. Our route is 9 miles, starting from Seathwaite, taking between 6 and 9 hours. And the hardest bit - we'll be staying in the youth hostel!

Founded in 2002, Phoenix Enterprises is both a charity and a social enterprise. Each year we provide a vital safety net for over 100 vulnerable adults in Swindon with mental health issues, learning difficulties and physical disabilities. Their challenges range from Autism, Asperger’s and Downs Syndrome to depression and anxiety. Phoenix enriches lives by building employability skills. We provide all our people with holistic day-to-day support in our structured production environment. We improve confidence, morale, life and employability skills, mental and physical health.

In 2023 we did Ben Nevis (see photos) and Snowdon in 2022, raising over £7,000 each time - please help us with our fundraising again this year!! We couldn't do it without you :-)
