We also work alongside various charities and other not-for-profit organisations, understanding just how vital fundraising is to them and their beneficiaries, even more so during these recent challenging times.
Each year we aim to give something back to a handful of charities from the entry fees to our various walks and events. A minimum donation of 10% of each entry fee from all of our public walks is donated to our chosen charity. We also support other charities with donations from other walks and events held throughout the year.
We are very pleased to announce that in 2021 our nominated charity and recipient of the public walk donations will be The Steve Prescott Foundation.
The Steve Prescott Foundation (SPF) is the very proud legacy of Steve Prescott MBE. Steve was diagnosed with a rare abdominal cancer pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) in 2006. Steve was a former professional rugby league international who undertook many challenges during his battle with cancer. He set up the SPF in 2007 and is the inspiration to people who support his chosen charities. He passed away in 2013 following pioneering multi visceral transplant surgery.
The donations to the SPF go to support The Christie Hospital in Manchester and the Rugby League Benevolent Fund.

We are also encouraging individuals, groups and organisations to get in touch with us during the lockdown period to discuss how we can help them in organising a bespoke event. Together we can lay the groundwork now and put plans in place to enable your event to be ready to go once the restrictions are lifted.
