Are you looking for some motivation to get you excited and active for 2024? The Youth Adventure Trust might just have the answer. This Summer they have two rewarding opportunities to get outside, get active, and make a difference.
In the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge on Saturday 8th June, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the stunning Wiltshire countryside and make a positive impact on the lives of local vulnerable young people. Choose how you do it (walk, jog or run) and how long you do it for (10k or half marathon), do it by yourself, with family and friends including the four legged kind! 2024’s adventure will see participants conquering the three iconic “peaks” of Wiltshire: Martinsell Hill, Milk Hill and Tan HIll. Expect a mix of challenging climbs and breath taking views, all while helping Wiltshire’s young people.
If you want something a bit more, then the Beacons Challenge on Saturday 6th July is the answer. Dust off those walking boots (or running shoes!) and call upon your friends or colleagues to join you for this amazing route through the spectacular scenery of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Teams of between 2 and 6 people will be setting their compasses and heading out to hike either 6 or 10 different peaks, including the iconic Pen y Fan, covering an amazing distance of either 17km or 34km in one day!
Whether you’re looking for a team building day with a difference, or fancy a challenging day outside with a group of friends, or want to raise funds to help vulnerable young people, then choose the challenge that is right for you and join us!
Registration for both challenges is now open and we invite friends, families, colleagues, and individuals to sign up and come together, challenge themselves, and make a lasting difference to vulnerable young people.

This is what some of the previous participants had to say:
“Even though the mountains looked daunting, as soon as we got there, the whole team made us feel like we could achieve it. During the walk when it was getting really hard I had to remind myself of what the young people go through which spurred me on even when it was difficult. I’ll be back next year!” – Dyane, Beacons Challenge 2023 Participant
“It was a super challenge, very well organised and for a really worthwhile cause”
Wiltshire 3 Peaks participant, 2023
The Youth Adventure Trust is a registered charity that helps vulnerable young people aged 11 – 16 from Swindon and Wiltshire to build resilience, develop confidence and learn the skills to face the challenges in their lives and make positive choices. All the funds raised go towards supporting vulnerable young people from local schools through these challenging times. The Beacons Challenge is now in its 14th year and has raised over £150,000 to help vulnerable youngsters build the resilience they need through outdoor adventure and one-to-one support.
