What Would You Do to Give a Family One More Precious Moment Together?

Would you walk over fire or climb a mountain?

Imagine being unable to lie beside the person you love when they need you most: to hold their hand, share a story, offer comfort or simply be close.

A cuddle bed makes those moments possible. It allows partners and family members to lie beside their loved one during end-of-life care, giving them comfort, dignity and precious time together.

These moments may seem small, but to a family they can mean everything. They become treasured memories that last long after goodbye.

By taking on one of Outdo's fundraising challenges, you can help give that priceless gift to more families, and enjoy an unforgettable experience of your own.

Fire Walk for Overgate

Thursday 15 October, 4pm · Clare House, 5a Clare Road, Halifax HX1 2HX

Barefoot, across glowing embers, in front of everyone. Allow about two and a half hours including the briefing. There's food, music and face painting on the night, and everyone who walks gets a certificate to prove it. We're raising £15,000 towards a specialist cuddle bed for Overgate's new inpatient unit.

Booking is handled securely by Eventbrite.

Walk on fire, climb a mountain, or both

Two challenges, one cause. Take on whichever one frightens you most, or sign up for both and really give your friends something to sponsor.

Could you face the heat?

Feel the fear, find your courage and experience the incredible thrill of walking across hot coals.

You’ll overcome a personal challenge, share an unforgettable evening with friends and supporters, and finish knowing that every fiery step has helped bring a family closer together.

It’s bold. It’s exhilarating. And it’s something you’ll be proud to say you did.

Will you walk over fire to give families precious time together?
Could you climb a mountain?

Pull on your festive gear, gather your friends, join the Silverback Trek Team and take on Whernside for a cause that reaches straight to the heart.

You’ll enjoy spectacular views, festive fun and the brilliant feeling of achieving something special, all while raising funds to help families share the closeness, comfort and quality time they deserve.

Every climb begins with one step. Yours could help create a memory that a family will treasure forever.

Will you climb a mountain for families who need your support?
