Fancy a proper challenge that’ll test your mettle and do a world of good? Our community-led team from Mid Wales is taking on the iconic Three Peaks Challenge on the 26th to the 28th of September 2025, and we’d love for you to join us!
Picture yourself standing on the summit of Ben Nevis, feeling the rugged beauty of Scafell Pike underfoot, and watching the sunrise from the majestic Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) – all within 24 cracking hours. This isn’t just about a physical achievement; it’s a way to show solidarity with communities in Sierra Leone.
We are raising vital funds and awareness for their work supporting marginalised folk in Sierra Leone. Just like our own rural communities here in Mid Wales, the people APT helps face economic hardship, limited opportunities, and the growing problems of climate change. By taking on this challenge, we’re right there with them, showing that even smaller communities can make a big difference on a global scale.
This isn’t just about conquering mountains; it’s about our Mid Wales community coming together to make a tangible difference across the globe. Imagine standing shoulder-to-shoulder with your neighbours, friends, and fellow passionate individuals from our region, all driven by the same desire to support those facing hardship in Sierra Leone.
Taking part in this challenge gives you the chance to:
- Embrace an Epic Adventure: Push your limits on this iconic UK challenge, experiencing the raw beauty of our landscapes while knowing your efforts have a far-reaching impact.
- Stand in Solidarity: Connect with the spirit of resilience that defines both Mid Wales and the communities APT supports in Sierra Leone.
- Be a Local Hero with Global Reach: a team rooted in our community, demonstrating the power of local action for international change.
- Forge Lasting Bonds: Share this incredible experience with like-minded individuals from Mid Wales, creating memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.
How Your Involvement Makes a Difference: Costs and Fundraising
To get this fantastic adventure off the ground and ensure everything runs smoothly, we’re asking each participant to contribute £300. This covers your share of the transport (those long drives between mountains!), all the logistical bits and bobs, coordination behind the scenes, and the support you’ll receive throughout the event. Think of it as your ticket to an unforgettable experience and a chance to be part of something truly special.
Now, for the really important bit – making a difference! We’re asking each participant to aim to raise £500 or more in sponsorship for the incredible work of APT in Sierra Leone. This is where your efforts will directly help communities overcome poverty and build brighter futures.
Don’t worry if fundraising feels a bit daunting; we’ll be right there with you, providing plenty of guidance, resources, and top tips to help you smash your target! We’re all in this together, and every pound you raise will make a genuine impact.
Let’s do this!
