About Night in the Wild
We're excited to be launching a unique new fundraising challenge - Breast Cancer Now's Night in the Wild!
Give up your home comforts for one special night by the campfire this June, in either the stunning Lake District or the High Weald, East Sussex. All while raising vital funds for life-changing breast cancer research and support.
Together with friends and our expert help, you’ll build your own shelter and spend a wild night in nature without any of your home comforts.
It might sound a little daunting, but powerful things happen when women get together – and we’ll be there to help you all the way.
What you can expect

Build your own shelter

Gather around the campfire and share stories

Switch off and connect with nature

Get sponsored to go wild for a good cause
Where, when and how
Choose from 2 stunning UK destinations for your Night in the Wild challenge:
Experience a night on the beautiful shores of Buttermere in the Lake District, surrounded by dramatic fells on 7 June.
Or opt for a night among the vast green fields, woodland and stunning views of the High Weald in the East Sussex countryside on 28 June.
Anyone over 18 is welcome to take part. Men can attend as long as they’re accompanied by a woman. Please see our T&Cs for more information.
By signing up, you'll pledge to raise £250 to go towards our breast cancer research and support. The money you raise could pay for a day of world-class research in one of our labs, or help people get the answers they need by calling our free helpline.
So, what do you say? Will you and your friends take on the Night in the Wild challenge this June?
