Jay McFadden is doing a gruelling fund raising event for us! - Please support Jay to support your local community. All funds raised will be donated to us to allow us to continue to build resilience in our local community to prevent suicide.


The Fan Dance is a 24km loaded route over Pen y Fan in the Brecon Beacons which is infamous within the ranks of all UKSF soldiers. It is a gruelling test which is now over 50 years old and still today forms the first major part of Selection and is a major indicator of whether a potential UKSF soldier has the physical and mental determination to complete it within the cut off time set by the D.S (Directing Staff).

The route starts and finishes at The Storey Arms Outdoor Education Centre and ascends Pen y Fan which is 2,907 feet (886m) high. The turn round point is at Torpantau where candidates will have to quickly turn round then return using the same route back up and over Pen y Fan via the very steep path known as Jacobs Ladder.


No matter how large or small, your donation will encourage Jay to continue on his mission.
