Prince William during his visit to Helvellyn with members of mountain rescue teams and the Centrepoint charity

Disadvantaged children will enjoy a day of adventure, thanks to volunteer rescuers in the Peak District.

Youngsters from three charities will be treated to activities ranging from climbing and abseiling, mock rescues, cave exploration and high-ropes courses to a mock rescue exercise.

The day is being organised by the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation, along with the Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation and the Search and Rescue Dogs Association of the Peak District, for young people involved with two charities supported by Prince William and one by Prince Harry.

The Duke of Cambridge is the patron of Mountain Rescue England & Wales and two years ago joined teenagers from Centrepoint, of which he is also patron, on a climb up Swirral Edge on to Helvellyn, with members of the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association.

He also joined seriously ill children from WellChild, whose patron is Prince Harry, on a boat trip on Ullswater during his visit.

Members of the Child Bereavement Charity will also join in the activities at Hope in the Peak District on 22 July.

A similar event was staged by north Wales mountain rescue teams last year.

Neil Roden of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation said: “Mountain rescue has been involved in similar events since 2009.

“Prince William is Patron of Mountain Rescue England & Wales, our national umbrella organisation, and he has always been keen for us to work with other charities to create opportunities together and also to promote our work.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for the various Peak District rescue teams, above and below ground, to create a unique day out for these young people and their families,” he added.

“The princes put a lot of emphasis on us working together and this is becoming an annual event that proves unforgettable for everyone involved.”
