Help others
If there is one thing we don't have a shortage of in the English Lake District it is water - yet one sixth of the world's population doesn't have access to safe drinking water.
Lake District Now is proud to support the charity WaterAid. A donation of just £15 can provide one person with a lasting supply of safe, clean water.
Our ambitious fundraising target of £3210 is calculated to help one person for each of Wainwright's 214 fells.
