We have five FREE places to give away for the Inflatable Obstacle Challenge!

Get your team together for an experience to remember!

We have five FREE places on offer to join this year’s Inflatable Obstacle Challenge in July. Have fun and bounce your way to the finish line – all while raising funds to support projects that fall beyond NHS provision but make such an incredible difference to service users and patients across the region.

Perhaps your team has a project you would like to make happen? This could be your way to do it!

There are four distances available: 2.5k, 5k, 10k and 15k – the longer the challenge, the more obstacles you’ll get to enjoy.

More FREE places up for grabs

In September we also have our annual Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge – and we still have five FREE places up for grabs.

We are seeking to get 25 Mersey Care staff involved to celebrate 25 Years of Mersey Care and make this our most exciting fundraiser to date.

It takes place on International Day of Charity – established by the United Nations to bring people together and build more awareness around the impact charities can have in strengthening healthcare, education, cultural preservation, and the protection of vulnerable groups. The date also coincides with the launch of our charity website back in 2023!

The challenge

The route will take you through the most spectacular Yorkshire Dales scenery, covering a circular 24.5-mile distance in a single day. Along the way, you’ll summit the peaks of Pen-y-ghent (694m), Whernside (736m - the highest of the three), Ingleborough, your final climb before the finish line. The route is guided my mountain leaders – who also offer advice and practice walks in the run up.

It’s a great way to come together with your team and do something amazing for people accessing our services, beyond the limitations of NHS funding. You can even fundraise for your own service, providing it meets our fundraising criteria. Get in touch to find out more and bag some places for your team! (charity@merseycare.nhs.uk
