Conquer the UK Three Peaks – Hike for Homelessness 

Turning Tides, the West Sussex homelessness charity, is thrilled to announce the “Conquer the UK Three Peaks – Hike for Homelessness” event. The charity invites you to embark on this extraordinary journey, where your next adventure could be the start of someone’s journey out of homelessness. 

Could you join a group of dedicated adventurers who believe that everyone deserves a home? By taking on the Three Peaks Challenge from 3rd October, you will climb the highest mountains in the UK - Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon - while raising vital funds to support people experiencing homelessness. Your fundraising will offer an opportunity to start their own journey and change their lives forever. 

Dedicated supporters from local business, Shore Group have ten staff members taking on the Three Peaks Challenge with Turning Tides this October. 

“Our team of 10 are taking on the Three Peaks Challenge for Turning Tides—a lifeline for the homeless in our local Sussex area. Anyone’s life can unravel into homelessness, whether affected by the cost-of-living crisis, illness or unforeseen circumstances. Turning Tides provides real pathways out of homelessness for those in need of support.” 

To participate, you’ll need a good level of fitness and a commitment to fundraising.  Don’t worry—Turning Tides will guide you every step of the way, from securing your place to reaching your fundraising target. 

Self-confessed rubbish portrait artist Hercule Van Wolfwinkle is a long-time supporter of Turning Tides. He’s has signed up for the challenge, as he continues add to the £200k+ already raised for Turning Tides over the last three years.  

“I’ll be aiming to climb the three highest mountains in the UK (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon) in a little over 24 hrs; starting on the morning of 4th October and ending around lunchtime on the 5th.” 

“I’ll also be attempting to draw a portrait at the top of each mountain, and you could be in with a chance of your pet being one of three drawn.” 

Did you know that for every person you see rough sleeping, there are at least another 20 hidden homeless? And those numbers are on the rise.
