A Summit for Something Greater
At Wyld Peak, we don’t just hike mountains, we climb with purpose. On May 30th, we’re taking on the legendary Helvellyn in the Lake District, not just for the views (although they are chef’s kiss) but to support a cause close to our hearts: suicide prevention.
We’re teaming up with the Jade L Roberts Project, a grassroots charity dedicated to mental health support and suicide awareness. Whether you're a trail-seasoned legend or just someone with solid boots and a big heart, we invite you to join us on this impactful journey.
Helvellyn: The Trail with a Cause
Known for its rugged beauty and dramatic ridges, Helvellyn is one of the most iconic climbs in the UK and one of the most meaningful this month. This isn’t just about the altitude; it’s about lifting people up who feel like they're at their lowest.
By stepping onto this trail, you're not only taking on an epic climb, but you're helping fund vital mental health services and programs that save lives. And yes, there will be sweat. Possibly some dramatic wind. Maybe even a sheep photobomb. But every step matters.
Looking for some inspiration to get trail-ready? Check out our recent blog on Hiking Safety Tips: How to Hike Safely in the Wilderness to prep like a pro.
After the Ascent: Pints & Prizes at The Old Swan 🎯
What’s better than a good hike? A good pub night after a good hike. When we descend from the summit, we’ll head to The Old Swan for some much-deserved darts, stories, and community spirit.
Bonus: You might just score exclusive Wyld Peak gear if your aim’s as good as your hike. (No pressure.)
Even if the hike isn’t your thing, you can still join us for the afterparty and help raise awareness with every laugh, toast, and dart throw.
Can’t Join in Person? You Can Still Make an Impact.
Not local? Tied up on the 30th? (We see you, responsible adulting.) You can still show support by donating to the Jade L Roberts Project directly. Every contribution fuels real, tangible support for people in crisis.
Donate here and be part of a life-saving mission from wherever you are.
Why This Matters
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death globally. Behind every statistic is a name, a face, a family, a story. The Jade L Roberts Project provides a lifeline for individuals struggling with mental health challenges. By raising funds and awareness, we’re walking toward a future where fewer people feel alone in the dark.
How You Can Get Involved
Join the hike. Meet us at the pub. Share the cause. Donate what you can. Every action matters. Even sharing this blog can help someone find the light they’ve been missing.
If you’re new to the hiking life or wondering what to pack, our guide on Gear Maintenance for Outdoor Adventures is a great place to start.
We climb for clarity. We hike for hope. We walk so others don’t have to feel alone.
Lace up. Speak up. Show up. Together, let’s make May 30th more than a date on the calendar, it’s a step toward healing.
