Adventure 70 Challenge Platinum Jubilee Fund

We believe in removing barriers to people accessing the outdoors and so we are proud to be recipients of support from The National Lottery Platinum Jubilee Fund to help us deliver our Adventure 70 Project.

Adventure 70 will provide opportunities for people in Pennine East Lancashire to take part in a range of outdoor activities and challenges.

We will celebrate people’s Adventure 70 experiences through events and social media, activity sessions will be available to book on from June 2022, follow our social media to join up.

The project will have a programme of Adventure 70 challenges and we encourage individuals, families and groups to take part in activity outdoors.   Tag us in on our social media using the hashtags below to show everyone what challenges you’ve undertaken – #adv70getmoving #move2change 

Let us help you explore the range of opportunities that exist – if you don’t have the correct equipment we can help you sort that so that there are no barriers to taking part.

Take on the challenge, sign up to our events and come and get active with us!
