Taking on the Malvern Hills Challenge
Support Pershore Plus Volunteer Centre by taking part in the Malvern Hills Challenge
This Summer, on Sunday 9 August, the Pershore Plus Volunteer Centre staff are swapping their desks for hiking boots as the amazing team takes on the Malvern Hills Challenge to raise vital funds for the centre.
The full-day challenge is no ordinary, or ‘leisurely’ walk! Covering the spectacular Malvern Hills ridgeline, participants will conquer 15 peaks and tackle a continuous elevation gain, whilst exploring Bronze Age hill forts and ancient geological wonders.
It’s a demanding route that tests both physical and mental endurance.
Starting at around 9.00am at the northern end of the Malvern Hills, near Great Malvern, the route covers over 10 miles, ending at the southern end of the Malvern’s at Chase End Hill some 6 hours later!
It's sure to be a memorable and rewarding adventure.
With a fundraising target of £5,000, the Pershore team are taking on the challenge to support the local people and surrounding communities that matter most.
Why take on the challenge?
Every day, Pershore Plus Volunteer Centre works alongside volunteers, local organisations and community groups to make a real difference across Pershore and the surrounding area.
From supporting older residents and tackling loneliness to connecting volunteers with meaningful opportunities, our work helps to build a stronger, more connected community.
As the demand for our services continues to grow, fundraising has never been more important.
Every donation will help us continue supporting local people, recruiting and training volunteers, and delivering projects that improve lives across Pershore and the surrounding communities.
Every step makes a difference
The Malvern Hills are famous for their breathtaking scenery, but this challenge is about much more than reaching the summit. Every hill climbed, every mile walked and every blister earned represents a commitment to supporting local people who rely on the services that the centre provides.
There will be moments when the climb feels steep and legs are tired, but raising funds for such an important cause is sure to keep everyone moving forward.
Fancy taking on the challenge too?
We need more participants to sign up for the Malvern Hills Challenge. Everyone who takes part commits to raising a minimum of £300 in sponsorship. Of this, £60 covers the participation fee, leaving a minimum of £240 to be donated directly to Pershore Plus Volunteer Centre.
To register your interest, please email our centre today, because the more people that take part, the more money gets raised!
