My Fiery Challenge

I’ve done it now—I’ve pledged to raise a sizzling £1,000 for the Big House Heroes challenge at Wentworth Woodhouse by taking on the ultimate hot-footing experience: a fire walk! Yep, that’s right, I’ll be walking across embers so scorching they could fry an egg, cook a steak, and maybe even melt lead. These bad boys are burning at a toasty 700 degrees Fahrenheit (that’s 400 degrees Celsius for the metric folks). It’s safe to say my shoes will be sitting this one out!

Why I’m Braving the Blaze for Wentworth Woodhouse

Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust isn’t just about preserving bricks and mortar. They’re all about sparking change and creating life-changing opportunities for the people of South Yorkshire. From innovative education projects and community engagement to wellbeing programs and dynamic cultural experiences, they’re lighting up the local area in more ways than one. They also keep the lights on (quite literally) and support the daily running and essential maintenance of this magnificent house.

By backing my fiery fundraiser, you’re not just helping me avoid burnt toes—you’re supporting the regeneration of Wentworth Woodhouse as a vibrant cultural centre with community at its core. This is a place that’s a joy to work at, volunteer for, and visit, and with your help, we can ensure it thrives for generations to come.

So, please dig deep and donate—because I’ll be digging deep into my courage reserves to walk on fire for this amazing cause!
