£8,000 for Ferring Country Centre

We are delighted to share that this week the Three Forts Challenge, proudly handed over a cheque for £8,000 to Ferring Country Centre.

We were joined for the presentation by Worthing Town Crier, Bob Smytherman, alongside the team and friends from Ferring Country Centre and members of local Rotary Clubs, who all helped us mark the occasion.

The money will go towards a new trim trail at the Centre, creating something that can be enjoyed for years to come.

The Three Forts Challenge brings people together for a fantastic day on the South Downs, but there’s another important reason behind what we do - raising funds to support local charities and our community.

Ferring Country Centre provides invaluable support for people with learning disabilities and it is great to see money raised through the Three Forts Challenge going towards a project that will make a lasting difference.

None of this would be possible without YOU - our runners, volunteers, supporters and everyone who helps make the Three Forts Challenge such a special event. Thank you! 🙌

👟 Why take on the Three Forts Challenge?

Challenge yourself, experience the stunning South Downs, enjoy the camaraderie and know that by taking part, you’re also helping us support local charities and give back to our community.

🏃 Will you go the extra mile with us in 2027?

This is exactly what the Three Forts Challenge is all about ❤️

We’re incredibly proud to play our part in an event that brings so many people together and creates such a positive impact in our local community.
