A group of people from south Cumbria have raised thousands for charity by completing three 'inspiring' challenges.

The team from Blueprint Subsea, a business based in Ulverston, took on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge, the National Three Peaks Challenge in 24 hours, and covered the length of Coniston Water via paddleboard.

This was all done to bring in donations for St Mary's Hospice, who revealed on Tuesday, October 1 that their efforts had raised an 'astounding' £2,928 - surpassing their original target of £1000.

A spokesperson from the hospice commented: "Their dedication has been nothing short of inspiring - we are truly grateful for their support, energy, and generosity.

"Every penny they’ve raised will make a difference to the lives of those who rely on our care."

The series of challenges began back in April this year, with the paddleboard challenge coming in July and the 'grand finale' happening in August.
