Headline Charity Partner

Army Benevolent Fund is the Army’s national charity, here for soldiers, former soldiers and their families for life.

We are one of the largest funders in the sector, supporting 60,000 people in 63 countries last year. We award grants to individuals and families, and provide essential funding to leading charities and organisations that support the Army family. When we hear of a person or family in need, we aim to respond within 48 hours.

Our Key Partners

Since 1988, East Cheshire Hospice has been caring for people suffering from life-limiting illnesses.

At a time when family is so important, we also support carers and relatives with social and family services, counselling, complementary therapies and much more.We need to raise £7,500 each day to keep East Cheshire Hospice running.Thank you to everyone who has supported the Hospice over the last 30 years.

Rosemere Cancer Foundation raises vital funds to support world-class cancer care throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria, for the benefit of patients treated at the regional cancer centre at Royal Preston Hospital, or at the cancer units at Royal Blackburn Hospital, Burnley General Hospital, Chorley and South Ribble Hospital, Blackpool Victoria Hospital, Furness General Hospital, Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Westmorland General Hospital.

The projects we fund are outside the scope of normal NHS provision, and wouldn’t exist were it not for the kindness of our donors, fundraisers and volunteers – but they make a real difference in the treatment and care received by local patients.

In 2009, we created Unique Kidz and Co to make sure that our own children’s needs were met and to provide a service for others like them.

Our centre in Morecambe offers support activities, play, and social time – we also know that everyone is unique and that one size doesn’t fit all. Our OFSTED registered childcare services for disabled children and their families offers the support and the activities needed for your unique children.

Cash for Kids supports children and young people affected by poverty, abuse, neglect, life-limiting illness and those who have additional needs.

Based across the UK, we’re a grant-giving charity helping community groups, other charitable organisations, schools and individual causes. We raised £21.5 million in 2024, supporting 583,957 children. Team up with us and make a difference in the mud…Discounted places available.

Fantastic event, well run, challenging course but great fun. So much better than the tough mudder I've done previously.

Attended the Capesthorne Hall event the weekend just gone and i couldn't recommend it more highly. Very well organised, so much fun to take part in and such a great feeling of accomplishment. Great little event village for spectators too! If you're thinking of signing up, DO IT. I'm going to sign up for the Lancashire one now.

Born Survivor is such an amazing event. It is such a laugh but also physically and mentally challenging ... a perfect mix! The mixture of natural obstacles and man made ones is so well thought out. And the Torpedo is incredible!!! Check out the website and get signed up!! You won't regret it!

I took part in Born Survivor 2024 in Cheshire and was blown away by how friendly everyone was. I was very nervous because it was my first take on Born Survivor and first time to run solo. Great course, challenging but achievable obstacles and very attentive marshals 💯

An amazing experience with epic obstacles and lots of mud amd laughter along the way. Brilliant marshals throughout the course. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a challenge or team bonding activity.

I've marshalled a few of the obstacles on both events and the atmosphere is always brilliant. Everyone covered in mud, working hard as a team (or those that get adopted by other groups!) but plenty of laughs and smiles. It really is great to be a part of.
The team work really hard to to make it a great experience and the attention to detail is obviously really important.
After all that...the after party is always a banger and well worth hanging around for!

Born survivor was something else. It was probably the most challenging thing I’ve ever done but so rewarding and satisfying at the same time. It’s something for everyone to push themselves to there own limits. #believe #achieve

I have taken part in both Born Survivors in 2019; Capesthorne Hall and Lowther Castle. Both events were well organised, all staff were friendly and helpful. The courses were fantastic, lots of mud, water, challenging obstacles!!! But most all everyone had fun, helped and encouraged those that struggled, a really fabulous team event!! Already signed up for 2020 👍
