Mental Health Foundation Fundraising Challenges

Founded in 1949, the Mental Health Foundation is a leading UK charity that provides information, carries out research, campaigns and works to improve services for anyone affected by mental health problems, whatever their age and wherever they live.

Throughout the last six decades we have pioneered new ways of looking at mental health and how to improve the lives of people experiencing mental illness.

We believe it is important to involve the people who use mental health services and their carers in our work. We want to support them to have their say on the way that services are run, as well as to use their experiences to inform our thinking.

The 3 Peaks Challenge is an attempt to climb the three highest peaks in the UK, one after the other!

These peaks are Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, we complete them in that order.

We travel to Fort William on the Friday, starting with Ben Nevis on the Saturday morning, climb Scafell Pike Saturday night and finish Snowdon on Sunday in Wales!

This is a tiring event and people participating should have the necessary fitness. We aim to complete each of the mountains within 3-6 hours; however this will depend upon the speed of the group.

The course is guided by experienced mountain leaders and there is a transport vehicle with separate driver with you throughout the challenge.
