We’ve teamed up with our charity partner Outward Bound Trust to organise the 2022 Big Barratt Hike, to bring colleagues together at their Ullswater centre in the Lake District. Colleagues are taking on the challenge over the weekend of 2-4 September across three different routes: a 20 mile hike, 12.5 mile hike, and a 6.5 mile walk with a 4.5 mile row.

We're tasking each team to raise as much money as possible to support our charity partners Outward Bound Trust, and Magic Breakfast, who were the employee’s favourite charity in the latest Barratt Foundation charity vote. The money raised for Outward Bound will fund the national youth charity to continue its work making positive changes in young people’s lives through learning and adventures in the outdoors, and will help the Magic Breakfast in their work with over 1,000 Primary, Secondary and Special Educational Needs schools, offering breakfasts to over 200,000 children each school day.

These are two extremely worthy causes, and the whole reason we’ve organised the Big Barratt Hike is to support both charities and the tremendous work that they do.

Given the popularity and scale of the event we are challenging each and every team to raise £3,500.

Good luck to everyone taking part!

Please note: All of the monies raised for Outward Bound Trust will be matched and donated to Magic Breakfast.
