Lancashire hospices to unite for huge Three Peaks fundraising challenge inc Derian House & St Cath's
Hospices across Lancashire are uniting for a huge challenge that will raise vital funds.
Ten hospices across Lancashire and South Cumbria are joining forces to bring communities an unforgettable challenge – the Yorkshire Three Peaks Mega Event, taking place on Saturday, September 5 2026.
The collaboration will see East Lancashire Hospice, Pendleside Hospice, Derian House Children’s Hospice, St Mary’s Hospice, Trinity and Brian House Hospice, Queenscourt Hospice, St Catherine’s Hospice, St John’s Hospice, and Rossendale Hospice unite with one shared goal: to raise vital funds for hospice care in their local communities.
Participants will tackle the iconic Yorkshire Three Peaks – Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough – in a single day, covering 24 miles and 5,200 feet of ascent.
The group say it is a challenge that promises breathtaking views and the chance to make a real difference.
Each hospice is offering an exclusive £30 early bird discount for the first 30 people who register with their local hospice.
After that, the price will increase to £45 and includes participants also raising individual sponsorship to maximise the funds raised for their chosen hospice.
Sponsoring the collaborative event is SPAR through its association with James Hall & Co. Ltd, SPAR’s primary retailer, wholesaler, and distributor for the North of England.
The company’s support will play a vital role in ensuring that more funds can go directly towards caring for local patients and families.
Philippa Harrington, Marketing Manager for James Hall & Co said: “Hospices provide such a wonderful service to the communities that they serve. We want to support that work and ensure people living in Lancashire and South Cumbria can continue to access that expert care when needed.”
