Over the Easter break, we partnered with Your Trust to deliver an inspiring outdoor experience for a small group of young people, taking them on a hike to Kinder Scout in the Peak District.

Your Trust generously supported the trip by providing transportation and meals, enabling full participation from all attendees. Together, we completed a challenging 9-mile hike across varied and demanding terrain. Despite the physical difficulty, every young person persevered with determination, culminating in a celebratory moment at the summit complete with an impromptu push-up challenge!

The experience not only fostered physical resilience and teamwork but also sparked meaningful new friendships. Notably, two participants were gifted gym memberships by Your Trust following the trip and now attend regularly together demonstrating the longer-term lifestyle and wellbeing impacts of the initiative.

Throughout the day, the group displayed exceptional courage, encouragement, and mutual support. They left the experience filled with pride and a genuine sense of achievement eagerly asking when the next trip would be.

Building on this success, we are now planning additional hikes over the summer to extend this opportunity to more young people. By engaging them in outdoor challenges, we aim to build their confidence, resilience, and wellbeing showing them that through adversity, growth is not only possible but transformative.
