Event overview
The Cumbrian Challenge is an annual flagship fundraising event organised by Walking with the Wounded, for individuals, organisations and companies who want to show their support and experience a memorable team-building weekend in the Lake District alongside the charity's beneficiaries. There are three hiking routes to choose from in the scenic hills of Grasmere. It is a weekend of fun with camping on the Friday to get a good start on Saturday morning.
The charity targets those who have fallen the furthest, men and women struggling with mental health issues, unemployment, homelessness or caught in police custody. By providing early intervention programs and speeding up access to therapy they are changing the lives of veterans and, crucially, their families.
This event is part of Cumbrian Challenge.
