Information about the 30K in a Day! hike in August:

On the 5th May we announced our BIG fundraising event 30k in a Day! Asking people to help us support children and young people like Phoenix.

And to be a part of Fairplay's 30th Anniversary Year as we celebrate supporting hundreds of children and young people with disabilities!

On the 30th of June our young people took part in their very own 30k in a Day! event, smashing their collective goal of walking 30 kilometres around Linacre Reservoir while raising money for their charity!

The 30K in a day sponsored walk will involve up to 15 staff and supporters taking place on Friday the 19th of August around beautiful Buttermere in the Lake District. Although we will be fortunate enough to take in some stunning scenery, this gruelling 18.5 miles walk will include hiking up and reaching the summit of 7 mountains!! We will be tackling: Red Pike, White Pike, Pillar, Hay Stacks, Seat, High Crag and High Stile - we'll reach 892m elevation at our highest point... it's not going to be easy work but considering the difficulties some of the families that we support face, it seems like a walk in the park.

How you can get involved:

There are limited spaces available for businesses and individuals to join us on the day! You must be able to gain sponsorship for the event and advertise that you are taking part in this event.

Participants will receive a Fairplay t-shirt, and their business / personal pages will receive a shout out on our website, all of our socials and in our next newsletter! Along with receiving a personal thank you from our children and young people and the opportunity to have up to 12 of their staff come down and experience our enterprise café for a free afternoon tea meet and great with our young people as an opportunity to relax, this would also be a photo opportunity and a way to show your involvement with a local charity in your community. You would also be invited to our 30th anniversary party on the 24th of September, which is a brilliant celebration and networking event with our other business partners!

For more information on how to take part in the event please contact Fairplay via our email office@fair-play.co.uk or give us a call on 01246 203963
