WHY THE OUTDOORS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO TALK

February 6, 2025

#TimeToTalk Day

Today marks Time To Talk Day – a day dedicated to “the nations biggest mental health conversation”. It aims to get people actively talking and listening to each other regarding mental health. It’s about learning to feel more comfortable opening up, reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues and taking those first steps toward improving mental health for everyone.

There are lots of ways to encourage and approach these kinds of talks, including sharing #TimeToTalk on social media. Visit the Time To Talk Day website for their full range of tips and resources.

Benefits of walking in the outdoors

Here at Charity Challenge, we understand how beneficial getting active in the great outdoors is to your mental health.

Exercising outdoors is proven to help boost your natural feel-good endorphin and dopamine levels – plus there’s the added benefit of being out in fresh air, surrounded by nature. Spending time in nature can be highly restorative – by helping you relax and increasing your energy levels, mental agility and focus.

So, if being active and being in nature are both proven to help towards keeping your mind and body healthy – then combining the two is a win-win!

How signing up for a Charity Challenge gets you walking and talking

Our open challenges are available for anyone to sign up for – meaning you can sign up alone or with friends (under a team booking) if you wish. Completing a Charity Challenge with a friend or a group provides a great chance to open up to each other, to get chatting and help clear your mind.

If you join solo, don’t worry – you’re not alone! The majority of our participants actually sign up alone – and have a fantastic time on our challenges regardless. Our participants often form new bonds with like-minded people whilst on our challenges. As you’re all tackling the same terrain, you urge each other on when it gets difficult – and conversations naturally form! A lot of our participants have amazing stories to tell too – about why they signed up, why they’ve chosen to fundraise for a particular charity and what it means to them.

We offer a wide range of challenges to choose from, in the UK and overseas. Our challenges also range in difficulty level (challenging, tough and extreme) and activity type (from mountain trekking to kayaking) – meaning there’s something for everyone and plenty of beautiful landscapes to inspire you to get talking!

Charity Challenge also operate charity exclusive challenges, meaning you’ll be joining a group of similarly motivated fundraisers, who all have the same cause close to their heart. This can be especially rewarding to those who may struggle to open up about areas of their life affected by what their chosen charity supports.

Our challenges are not a race – they’re an uplifting and encouraging space for individuals and groups to learn to believe in themselves, be proud of their fundraising achievements and inspire others to do great things.

We also offer exclusive corporate challenges, that can help workplaces toward improving employee mental health. Read our blog or visit our website to find out more.

So, whether you have your own story to share, want some quality reflection time or if you’re always open to listen – a Charity Challenge is the perfect space for you.

OUR CLIENTS – YMCA NORTH TYNESIDE

January 21, 2025

Over the last 25 years, Charity Challenge have worked with hundreds of businesses to provide innovative and dynamic solutions for employee engagement, and CSR. Our exclusive corporate challenges help companies develop stronger team bonds, demonstrate corporate responsibility and have amazing experiences, all whilst supporting their charity partnerships.

We spoke to Cameron Galloway, Fundraising Coordinator at YMCA (North Tyneside) about how their exclusive Mount Toubkal Trek went…

Client case study ycma north tyneside mount toubkal - group at mountain summit

Please introduce yourself…

I’m Cameron Galloway, Fundraising Coordinator at YMCA North Tyneside. In October 2024, 16 of our supporters took on our first ever overseas challenge to climb Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in Morocco, standing at 4,167m above sea level – raising over £26,000 for our cause. 

Mount Toubkal Trek Scenery

Why did you choose Charity Challenge?

We knew some associates that had done a previous Dog Sledding challenge with Charity Challenge and we had really good feedback from them – and we had only ever heard good things about the company. It was also the first time YMCA North Tyneside had done an overseas challenge and we wanted to do it with Charity Challenge because of the good feedback we’d heard and their excellent reputation.

Client case study ycma north tyneside mount toubkal - group together

What were you hoping to achieve?

Our primary goals were to increase public awareness of our charity’s work supporting young people across the North East and to secure funding for a community bus project. We believed this challenge would be a valuable platform to achieve both objectives.

Mount Toubkal Trek scenery

How did it go?

Our team was made up of board members, community members, business owners and YMCA Staff who came together to support our work and take on a life changing adventure. 

One participant saw the challenge on the Charity Challenge website and had no previous association with our Charity, they were actually from Hertfordshire, so nowhere near North Tyneside! This was good for us because they will hopefully become a long-term supporter of our charity, and it will help connect them with their local YMCA too.  

While we left Marrakech in 25 degree heat, the conditions quickly changed as we approached base camp. After a long day of walking through the Atlas Mountains we went to bed with a blanket of snow falling and freezing conditions predicted. We woke up on summit day to below freezing temperatures and icy conditions, however our guides were invaluable in keeping the team safe and ensuring we made it to the summit.

Client case study ycma north tyneside - scenery

What were your highlights?

My highlight was being part of something that felt quite big – I’ve always wanted to climb mountains overseas and I’ve done a few in the UK but doing it in Morocco is just completely different. The scenery, the altitude and the weather was just excellent. It had been such a journey for everyone, as a lot of people put their name down up to two years before. We had been training, meeting up and fundraising for the last couple of years, so when we made it to the top it was quite emotional for the team.   

Even for the people that didn’t summit, to get to the base camp was an amazing achievement, as with the Toubkal Challenge, you go from sea level to over 4000m in 24 hours, so it’s really tough as there’s no real time for acclimatisation! I’m extremely proud of our whole group. 

A lot of people have said it’s changed their outlook on their physical and mental health. They’ve decided to make a few positive healthy changes in their life and others have decided that this was the first of many – and that they’re going to conquer another challenge or mountain. So, everyone has come back with a new outlook on life.

What did Charity Challenge do well?

Pre-challenge – We had a personal call with Simon when we were first looking at doing the challenge and it was excellent to receive the advice and information straight from him. Then we were talking with Tilly, our Account Manager for the challenge. She was excellent, we had regular calls and emails, and she chased us up if we hadn’t completed anything on time! We also had video calls going over information verbally, so it wasn’t just all over email.  

We actually had to change our challenge after we first signed up – but that process of changing was really smooth, even the flights. Also, in terms of checking all information was correct, the kit list and the itinerary was exactly how it happened on the trip, so that was all excellent too. 

During challenge – The ground team was amazing, and the doctor was brilliant. The doctor was friendly and knowledgeable, as he’d done other challenges before. He had actually had some altitude sickness himself, but he still looked after the rest of us really well.  The guides were excellent – they looked after us, whether it was giving us information on the local area, keeping us safe while navigating tricky parts of the challenge or chatting about their lives – it was great and we can’t fault them!  

Post challenge – About a week after the challenge, we had a debrief with Tilly and discussed a few things we wanted to raise. It was mostly all positives, but anything we did mention was picked up and I’m confident Charity Challenge listened to our feedback. 

The participants shared that they had really good experiences, the doctor and the guides were great, and it was excellent having their support. Another said the doctor was a ‘superstar’, with great communication and quick to respond to questions. Overall, it was an excellent response, a few people were keen to get their next challenge underway.

As a charity, we could be looking to do a challenge once every few years, depending on numbers and interest. But it was incredible – and if we were to do it again, we would be using Charity Challenge.

THE NATIONAL THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE: AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE

January 20, 2025

What is the National Three Peaks Challenge?

Brace yourself for a fast-paced and physically challenging adventure, as you take on the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales. Considered one of Britain’s toughest outdoor challenges, the National 3 Peaks Challenge takes in the dizzy heights of Ben Nevis (1,344m), Scafell Pike (978m) and Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) (1,085m). Your challenge is to do all this in 24 hours!

Highlights include:

  • Being one of the first hikers of the day to take on Ben Nevis.
  • Hiking under the starry skies of the Lake District National Park and summiting Scafell Pike at night.
  • Reaching the summit of the highest mountain in Wales, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), for sunrise.

What will I achieve?

Year after year, our National Three Peaks Challenge is our most popular sell-out UK challenge. It is a tough but incredibly exhilarating expedition all round! Whilst it’s definitely no easy stroll, completing this challenge comes with multiple rewards to be proud of…

  • Hike around 28 miles in 24 hours (that’s over a marathon length!).
  • Ascend around 3000m in total – almost the same amount of ascent when summiting Kilimanjaro.
  • Trek for a total of 18 hour across undulating terrain, summiting the three highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales. 
  • Experience the best breath-taking UK views with a group of like-minded challengers.
  • To top it all off, you will be tackling this in aid of a charity of your choice – making each step and summit all the more worth it.

I’m thinking of booking, what do I need to know?

For a quick overview of what to expect from the National Three Peaks challenge, we’ve pulled together some need-to-know essentials below – including some top tips straight from our experienced staff! For further information please visit our National Three Peaks Challenge webpage, which covers all information and details thoroughly.

1. Endurance, Endurance, Endurance

The Three Peaks Challenge is a real endurance test and training should be taken seriously. We recommend starting training 4-6 months beforehand, building up to exercising for prolonged periods of time, on varied terrain and getting comfortable with only a few hours rest in between. Remember, you’ll be trekking for a total of 18 hours, up and down the largest hills in the UK, with little recovery time!

Top Tips:

  • Make sure to train on hills at a 4km/h pace and work on strengthening your leg and knee muscles – Laura Harris, Operations Manager
  • Bring your favourite snacks – these will boost your mood whilst contributing to important energy levels. Electrolytes and energy drinks are also a must when exerting yourself over such a prolonged period of time – Rosie Graham, Office Administrator

2. Quality Clothing & Equipment

Making sure you have good quality, comfortable clothing will give you the best chance at success. Walking boots give much needed ankle support and grip over rough terrain – but remember to break them in well before the challenge to avoid any blisters slowing you down.

It’s the UK, so a waterproof jacket is a must! Ensure it can keep you dry for 10-12 hours at a time. Trekking poles and a head torch are also essential equipment for tackling the three peaks. You can view our full National Three Peaks Challenge Kit List here.

Top Tips:

  • Bring a pair of socks to change into straight after you’ve descended each mountain, to allow your sweaty feet to dry and to avoid blisters. And don’t skip the walking poles – they take up to 33% of strain off you knees! Laura Harris, Operations Manager

3. Prioritise Your Rest

After summiting Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike, you then have time to sleep on the minibus on the way to your last peak, Snowdon. Whilst our minibuses are chosen for their comfort, it’s up to you to ensure you get the best rest possible. Bringing a few comforts that aid your rest will help maintain your physical and mental endurance till the finish line.

Top Tips:

  • Bringing a sleeping system for the bus will massively help your energy levels. A sleeping mask, pillow and big hoodie could make all the difference – Rosie Graham, Office Administrator
  • The days are long and tiring, so take a blanket for the bus to keep warm (you can leave it on the bus between peaks!) – Toni Howden, Operations Manager

4. Enjoy Your Epic UK Adventure

When joining our N3P challenge, whether you book alone or with a friends, you’ll still be hiking with other charity fundraisers. Having a chat with fellow hikers can really uplift your spirits – never underestimate the effect of good camaraderie! Don’t forget to look around and enjoy the views – the National 3 Peaks allows you to see spectacular sights, from rugged rocky trails to mountain lakes from above.

It’s fast paced, but those summit moments where you get to take it all in at the top (and take a well-deserved photo) makes it worth it – three times over!

Top Tips:

  • Ask your local leaders for interesting info about each peak – there’s so much interesting stuff to keep you motivated and upbeat as you’re going up Snowdon at 6am! – Laura Harris, Operations Manager
  • Take time to chat with your fellow participants, be brave! These are the people you’ll lean on when it gets really hard, so creating bonds and relationships with them is important. Everyone is there for their own reason, and with their own story, and you can be immensely inspired by the people you meet – and even leave with new friends for life! – Rosie Graham, Office Administrator

To conclude… start preparing!

If you are now seriously considering taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge, we strongly recommend heading over to our website to read through our full Itinerary, Costs, Kit List and extensive Essential Information tabs.

You’ll find everything you need to know here in detail, from timings, locations, accommodation, food and drink, difficulty level breakdowns, training advice, group safety, equipment and much, much more (including answers to those all-important ‘what if?’ questions).

Why should I book the National Three Peaks with Charity Challenge?

Over the years Charity Challenge has built up a wealth of experience that has enabled us to create the best National Three Peaks itinerary that is geared towards providing everyone with the very best experience and opportunity to complete the challenge successfully.

Since 1999, we have specialised in operating challenges for charity fundraisers. We partner with 1000’s of UK and Irish charities already – and our team is happy to reach out to a charity of your choice to make your dream fundraising challenge happen. (Or, if you don’t fancy fundraising, the good news is you can simply self-fund and join us on the peaks anyway!).

  • We only use high quality minibuses to maximise the space and comfort for your trip.
  • We use professional drivers, and adhere to driver hour regulations in order to keep you safe.
  • Unlike other operators we include everything from accommodation, breakfast first thing in the morning, transfers to the start of the trek and back again and plenty of lunch and snacks whilst on the trek.
  • We employ one leader to look after you for the full event, and then additional ‘fresh’ leaders on each mountain to help keep the group moving at an appropriate speed.
  • We have also built in plenty of contingency time to our itinerary as delays can happen and we want to make sure everyone gets the opportunity to complete the challenge regardless as to what the traffic on the M6 is like!
