On 7th April 2022, the Power of 6 will be trekking across the Peak District to raise money for the charity Rail Aid.

We will be covering just under 9 miles in and around the Hathersage area, taking in key landmarks such as the Rocky Higger, Padley gorge, the river Derwent and the famous historic Padley Chapel all to raise money for a good cause. 

About Rail Aid....

Since it was founded, Railway Children has helped more than a quarter of a million children, previously stricken by abuse, poverty and starvation, come to know a better life; living in hope and without fear. Each year the charity supports children from the UK, East Africa and India who, through neglect or poverty, find themselves in unbearable situations, homeless and on the street.

The pandemic wiped out Railway Children's extensive events programme last year and has continued to affect them this year, including the cancellation of their main fundraiser, The Railway Ball, for the second year running. This leaves a gap of over £1 million in funding for Railway Children over two years, at a time when the children the charity supports need our services more than ever. 

 Donating to Rail Aid 2021 will mean Railway Children can keep on providing protection, support and opportunity to children across the world.

Who are the 'Power of 6'?

The Power of 6 are a consortium of consultants, lead by Gleeds and consisting of Arcadis, Currie & Brown, Gardiner & Theobald, WSP and Grant Thornton, formed to deliver commercial services for the HS2 CDC framework. 

The walk will include members from across all 6 organisations, bringing people together to raise much needed funds for a cause close to our hearts.

Please donate generously so we can reach - and exceed - our £2,400 target for Rail Aid!
