At some point you or somebody you love is likely to be affected by mental health issues, dementia or a life-limiting illness like cancer. That’s why the work of Mind, Dementia UK and St Anne’s Hospice are so important. Will you support our efforts to raise money for these fantastic causes?

Throughout the year a group of colleagues from AJ Bell's Marketing Team - Kirsty, Natalie, Peter, Matt S, Matt B and Harry - will be taking on several tough hikes across the UK in preparation for the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge.

Many of our group are new to walking, but together we’re discovering the huge mental and physical health benefits that exercising in the outdoors can bring. If we can help to raise money for vital causes in the process, all the better!

*We plan to distribute the money equally amongst the charities, however don't hesitate to donate to the one that is closest to your heart.
