Last Saturday, His Majesty's 33rd Regiment of Foot reenactment group spent the day trekking a gruelling 18.15km in full reenactor's kit, all the way from Halifax to the beautiful Stoodley Pike as part of our #1815Challenge fundraising campaign. With this amazing achievement they've raised almost £1000 for our veteran and serving personnel support programmes! Well done and thank you to the team and everyone who donated for their support - we hope they had a great time! There's still plenty of time to donate or take on your own #1815Challenge here: www.justgiving.com/campaign/1815
