Lake District Challenge Raises Over £4,500 for Cerebral Palsy Football Club

12 Apr 2026 Lake District Challenge Raises Over £4,500 for Cerebral Palsy Football Club

A group of fundraisers have successfully raised over £4,500 after completing a demanding Lake District challenge in support of a cerebral palsy football club.

Participants took part in an outdoor endurance event across the Lake District, combining walking and hill-based activities while raising money through sponsorship from friends, family, and local supporters.

The funds raised will go directly towards supporting the cerebral palsy football club, helping to provide essential equipment, training opportunities, and continued access to inclusive football sessions for players with disabilities.

Organisers praised everyone involved for their effort and commitment, highlighting the importance of community-led fundraising in keeping disability sport accessible and sustainable.

The challenge is part of a wider series of charity events held in the Lake District each year, which regularly bring together participants of all abilities to raise money for local and national causes.

Supporters said the achievement reflects the strong spirit of teamwork and inclusion, with the money set to make a meaningful difference to the club’s ongoing activities.
