🚣‍♀️ Race Across the Lakes with Capital One, 17.09.26

Capital One brought departments together for an action-packed day in the Lake District, raising an incredible £14,500 for BRACE Dementia Research.

Working in teams, colleagues raced through the Lake District, following clues to uncover their next activity and taking on everything from trekking and canoeing to trebuchet building and testing their nerve on the Infinity Bridge! 🗺️🌊🥾

With exhilarating challenges, friendly competition and plenty of teamwork, it was a brilliant opportunity to bond outside the workplace and share plenty of laughs along the way. 🤝

Meet Kerry Banks BEM, our Gold Winner for Outstanding Fundraising Achievement! 🎗️

@kerry_banksy's fundraising journey began in 2006, inspired by her late friend Julie, who sadly passed away from breast cancer, and her own experiences with grief and mental health.

After discovering Charity Challenge, Kerry took on her first trek to the Great Wall of China in 2012 - and hasn’t looked back since. With an astonishing £360,000 raised for @breastcancernow, she’s continued to take on treks, carrying Julie’s letter with her wherever she goes. 💌

We're wishing Kerry the best of luck in her upcoming Dalai Lama Himalayan Trek! 🏞️

🧠 How to Mentally Prepare for a Challenge

Taking on a Charity Challenge is as much a mental test as a physical one. With #WorldMentalHealthDay in mind, we’re sharing practical tips to help you manage pre-challenge nerves, build confidence and feel ready for the adventure ahead. ✌️

From training in less-than-perfect conditions to building familiar routines and breaking the challenge into smaller steps, a little preparation can go a long way. 🎒📋

42km through Manchester, for a cause that matters 🚶‍♀️🏢🌿

Two weeks ago, 55 challengers took on the Manchester Canals Trek in support of @drinks_trust, following historic canals, vibrant waterfronts and iconic Mancunian landmarks from Sale to the city centre 🐝

The Drinks Trust supports people working across the drinks industry, providing practical, financial and emotional support to help them navigate challenging times. With #WorldMentalHealthDay tomorrow, it’s a timely reminder of the importance of looking after our mental health and making sure support is there for those who need it. 💚 🍸

A huge well done to everyone who took part and helped raise awareness for this important cause! 🥾

Somewhere deep in the Sumatran jungle…🌿🦎

In early September, our challengers headed into Gunung Leuser National Park for five days of trekking through dense, humid rainforest, crossing rivers and navigating their steep, muddy banks.

Along the way, they had the chance to spot some of Sumatra’s most elusive wildlife and experience the jungle at its wildest. They even had some up-close encounters with the mighty orangutan! 🦧

Wildlife, white water and a seriously wild adventure 🌊🛶🦛

Our challengers had a blast on their Zambezi River Challenge, paddling over 100km through one of Africa’s most spectacular wildernesses. 🌅

From spotting hippos, elephants and crocodiles along the river to working as a team to raft through some of the world’s most tempestuous white-water rapids, this was a real dare-devil experience! 🐘🐊

Camping beside the river brought its own excitement too - from noisy nights surrounded by wildlife to elephant-watching while eating breakfast! ⛺☀️

Think you're brave enough to take on the river?

28 colleagues. Three Peaks. Over £27,000 raised for British Heart Foundation. ⛰️

This month the team at Dalkia took on our National Three Peaks Challenge, tackling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa together.

As challenger Daniel Torres put it:

"Participating in the Three Peaks Challenge has been an amazing experience and one I'll always remember. From the friendships formed within the group that helped us each step of the way, to the sense of personal achievement that only a challenge like this can offer, its rekindled a love of hiking in the great outdoors that I'll continue for many years to come." 💫

Meet our Gold Winner for Most Inspiring Story: Liz! 🥇

At 84, she’s already taken on eight treks and isn't stopping there... 💪

But it all started with a little encouragement from her son and a 26-mile Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge she wasn’t sure she could do. She gave it a go, discovered she was capable of more than she thought - and hasn’t looked back since. ⛰️

Her story is a brilliant reminder that sometimes, the hardest part is simply deciding to give it a try. 🌟
