Lakeland Today reports that the Lake District National Park Authority has appealed
to fundraisers to take a break from organising Three Peaks Challenges.
Area Ranger
manager Sara Clarke told Lakeland Today that, although there is a code of conduct
on such events, the increasing popularity of fundraising events in the Lake District“
has annoyed local residents and further damaged routes up to England’s highest mountain–
Scafell.”

She encouraged fundraisers to be more creative in choosing alternative ways to raise
funds. “Perhaps have a break from the Three Peaks Challenge for a year or two and
look at other ways money can be raised through enjoyable outdoor events,” she said.

 

 

If this were not possible then she recommended that such events do at least adhere
to the Code of Practice set out by the Institute of Fundraising and the UK’s National
Parks.
