Yorkshire Three Peaks charity places 2026

Experience the breathtaking beauty and physical challenge of the Yorkshire Peaks by trekking for Dementia UK.

The route

This region was shaped by glaciers many thousands of years ago, with plenty of geological landmarks to pique your interest as you walk – from striking limestone outcrops to unique rock formations. You will also see the famous Ribblehead Viaduct en route, part of the scenic Settle-Carlisle railway line.

Check out the route map

This is an extremely tough event over hilly landscapes; at 24 miles, it’s an enormous challenge for walkers – but one that will leave you with an immense feeling of pride and satisfaction.

By walking for Dementia UK, you’ll help our specialist Admiral Nurses provide life-changing support to more families facing dementia. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

Fundraising ideas

Organising fundraising activities alongside your main challenge will help you smash your goal. Here are some ideas:

  • host a quiz
  • arrange a raffle
  • hold a sweepstake on how long your challenge will take
  • organise a bake sale at home, at work or in your community
  • create a sponsored playlist, where supporters donate to add their choice of song to your trek soundtrack

Your fundraising welcome pack

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a fundraising welcome pack that’s full of advice on how to meet – and beat – your target.

Enthuse

Setting up an Enthuse page is a great way to fundraise online. Share your link with family, friends and colleagues, and watch the donations roll in.

You can use Enthuse to explain why you’re taking on your challenge for Dementia UK, keep track of how much you’ve raised, and even share your training progress using Strava so your supporters can see how well you’re doing. The more you update and share your page, the more donations you’ll receive.

Gift Aid

If your supporters are UK taxpayers and their donation is voluntary (not proceeds of a sale), we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated – at no extra cost to them. Make sure they fill in the Gift Aid form in your fundraising pack or tick the correct boxes if they’re donating online.

Sending in your donations

If you’re fundraising through Enthuse, the donations will automatically come to us. If you’ve got cash to pay in, you can do this online, by phone, by bank transfer or by post.

Pay in your donations

Every three minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia. Too often, families struggle to find support, leaving them feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and alone.

When you support our charity, you’re helping us grow the number of specialist dementia nurses. With your help, no one will face dementia alone.

How your money will be used

Every penny you raise will make a huge difference to families facing dementia. Each donation, no matter how big or small, will help you reach your target. Did you know that someone simply donating £4 to your fundraiser could pay for the telephone costs of one family calling our free Helpline for immediate support.

See the impact that your fundraiser could make:

  • £ 250

    could fund a new Admiral Nurse

    to run a full day of face-to-face appointments for families affected by young onset dementia (where symptoms develop under the age of 65).

  • £ 557

    could pay for two Admiral Nurses

    to answer calls on our Helpline on a Sunday, when other dementia services are closed.

  • £ 1 ,250

    for a whole week to support a community where people are struggling to access local dementia services.
