On Saturday 14th September, we will be holding a Survival Challenge for 5 days.  At a secret location, 2 hours away. We will all leave Winsley together via bus, in the early hours.

Taking part in this Survival Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, make new friends and to maybe step out of your comfort zone for a few days. This is a great opportunity to get away from the crazy day-to-day living and relax in the wild.

Highly skilled leaders will teach you, and then you put your new skills into practice.

There are limited places so sign up today! 

It costs £95 to enter and we ask that you raise a minimum of £750. This money will help us to continue supplying vital care. Every person taking part has to raise this target amount.
