Minerva Learning Trust

Staff from Ecclesfield School have been putting their best feet forward to support Cancer Research UK, taking on the demanding Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge – and they have already raised an incredible £2,000.

The team tackled the iconic route covering Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, battling steep climbs, challenging terrain and some less-than-perfect weather along the way. Despite the tough conditions, spirits remained high from start to finish.

Highlights from the challenge:

Off we go up Pen-y-Ghent

Reaching the top of the first peak

The long slog across to Whernside

Making it to the second peak… and then heading back down the other side

The climb up Ingleborough

Realising we probably should have read the guide information about bad weather!

Standing proudly at the top of Ingleborough

Making it back and successfully completing the challenge

Celebrating with a well-earned curry

The team’s achievement is a fantastic example of determination, teamwork and community spirit, all in support of an important cause.

There's still time to donate!

Every contribution helps support the vital work of Cancer Research UK, funding life-saving research and bringing us closer to beating cancer.

Current total raised: £2,000 and counting!

Thank you to everyone who has supported the challenge so far.
