Walking for Charity – What Can You Do?

Usually, we don’t need an excuse to get out there and hit the fells. Most passionate walkers will squeeze hiking into any spare time they have – weekends, evenings, Bank Holidays all offer the perfect excuse to don your hiking boots and get out in the countryside.

If you do ever need a good reason to organise a walk, then why not complete one in the aid of your favourite charity? Setting up an account with justgiving.com makes it easy for your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you to do some out-of-the-ordinary walking.

A popular choice among walkers looking to raise money for charity is to take on the infamous Three Peaks Challenge, usually over the space of one weekend! This means scaling the highest peaks of England, Wales and Scotland – a demanding schedule for even the most seasoned of walkers.

It also offers the perfect opportunity to introduce walking and hiking to some of your friends who haven’t yet acquainted themselves with the joys of the great outdoors. When it’s for charity, you’ll find people are keen to get involved and try their hand at something new or a little bit out of the ordinary.

And if you really want to attract attention to yourselves, why not complete your hike in fancy dress? This will really draw interest from your colleagues and it is sure to help you squeeze a few extra sponsorship pennies.
