PBCC Volunteers Support ANDYSMANCLUB’s Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge with Over 600 Meals

Volunteers from the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church with the Rapid Relief Team in Leeds UK have been busy supporting hundreds of walkers taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge organised by men’s mental health charity ANDYSMANCLUB to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding male mental health.

21 volunteers from the RRT braved the stormy weather conditions and set up tent under the iconic Ribblehead Viaduct on the historic Settle-Carlisle railway line. Over the course of the day, RRT volunteers served more than 640 freshly prepared burger meals, 300 barista-style coffees, and over 200 hot chocolates and teas to participants taking on the challenge of climbing Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent.

The hot food and refreshments provided a much-needed boost, helping to lift morale and keep spirits high in the face of the rainy weather, and created an atmosphere of camaraderie and support amongst participants.

“We’ve had a phenomenal day taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks in order to help break down the stigma of men’s mental health. We want to thank the RRT and their volunteers who have done an amazing job supporting our participants and serving us food, coffees, and teas. This has been a massive boost to us all and helped us keep going through the challenge.”
