In August a team of our A-Level students will attempt to walk The Coast to Coast walk in 13 days. The 192 miles from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay crosses 3 National Parks and will begin on the 20th August. The students who will be taking on this challenge are Lauren Greasley, Will Smith, Megan Webster, Finn Hewitt, and Keighley Hall. They will be doing it to raise money for Mountain Rescue.  Along the walk they will also be doing a plastic pick up, all plastic found  will be turned into art to help raise awareness of plastic pollution and the damage it does to our oceans.

Mountain Rescue team members give up their time voluntarily and receive no payment or expenses, however having the equipment, vehicles and support facilities to operate and potentially save lives is an expensive business. With no Government funding, just raising the money to operate each year, competing with other worthwhile causes, is a mammoth task.

As an Academy each year we run a lot of expeditions in mountainous regions and it is one of our missions to teach students how to be safe in the mountains. Knowing such a wonderful organisation like Mountain Rescue would be there if we needed them in an emergency, helps us to be able to run our expeditions.

All funds raised via this page will Go to Mountain Rescue - the students have raised funds already to pay for the expense of the trip, which has also been supported by our Academy's Opportunities Trust Fund.
You can help us raise money for this great cause by donating directly to our fundraising page - https://www.justgiving.com/SamworthCoast2CoastChallenge2018.

JustGiving sends your donation straight to Mountain Rescue England and Wales and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
