SPOON CHALLENGES

As early as 1990, national charity, Wooden Spoon was tempting you to take part in tough, exhilarating and rewarding challenges.

It all began with the Four Peaks and in that first year, a handful of enlightened challengers raised £1,226 from stunned and incredulous family and friends.

Over the years the Four Peaks Challenge has grown and in 2005, 53 teams pledged a staggering £461,611.00 in aid of disadvantaged children across the UK and Ireland!

The challenge calendar has also expanded with new events being added on a regular basis. These include The Great Lakeland Challenge, The End 2 End Challenge and the Summer Solstice Bike Ride, to name a few.
