Cumbrian Challenge
The Challenge
Are you ready for a memorable fundraising weekend?
The Cumbrian Challenge is our annual flagship fundraising event for individuals, organisations and companies who want to show their support and experience a memorable team-building weekend in the Lake District alongside our beneficiaries.
This year we are delighted to be welcoming back Sunbelt Rentals as our headline sponsor, alongside our other sponsors, who’s generous support makes the event possible.
We target those who have fallen the furthest, men and women struggling with mental health issues, unemployment, homelessness or caught in police custody. By providing early intervention programmes and speeding up access to therapy we are changing the lives of veterans and, crucially, their families.
