Comments from the group included: “It has been the hardest thing I have done in my life, but so proud”, “So proud of how we came together to encourage each other when it was hard!!”, and “Could not have done it with a better group of ladies”.

Last year they took on The Mighty Hike in the Lake District for Macmillan Cancer raising £2,000 as a team.

This year they wanted to do something different and, understanding the cost of living, they took on Snowdon with a flash fundraising challenge to raise at least £200 for their residents’ comfort fund to buy a slushie machine.

Registered manager Kelli Hardcastle said: “We are yet to total our amount raised but the slushie machine is on order.”
