Rachel's Rising to the Challenge

On 9th June 2012, our Chief Executive will be taking the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for the poorest and most isolated older people living in Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil and Rhondda Cynon Taff.

The Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the highest mountains of Scotland, England and Wales, within 24 hours. The challenge includes around 24 miles of hill walking, separated by two long drives. Each mountain includes a round trip of between seven to ten miles. Visit our page on the Three Peaks Challenge website for more information about Rachel's Challenge Team.
