Earth, Mynd and Shire

Some of the team from Castle Point Borough Council are gearing up to tackle another awe-inspiring Public Sector Challenge; Earth, Mynd and Shire on Friday 11th September 2026.

This isn’t just a test of endurance; it’s a chance to make a real impact for 2 charities, The British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research. By participating in this public sector fundraising event, we’re raising vital funds for these great charities.

Imagine conquering these 5 majestic peaks, exploring the landscape of Long Mynd.

Your support can fuel our journey. Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to our target.

Look out for some of our great fundraising events we have planned during July, August and September at Castle Point Active.
