gift ideasPeak District walks - patches
We have designed some lovely Peak District iron-on patches, perfect for backpacks, clothes, blankets, cushions or wherever else you want to put them.
It will be a great way to keep track of all the great walks you’ve done and places you’ve visited in the Peak District National Park.
The patches make wonderful presents for both adults and children or you can simply treat yourself.
One of the ideas is that you can encourage children to get more excited about walking and exploring the Peak District by collecting the patches.
We started with two designs Mam Tor and Kinder Scout, but have now added Thorpe Cloud, The Roaches and Win Hill to the collection. We also now have our very own Peak District Walks design so you can show your support a patch!
The patches are iconic Peak District hills, landmarks and locations, all designed by Laura from Laura Hodgkinson Creative.

raising funds for charity
Our patches will not only make great gifts but £1.75 for EVERY patch will also go to charity. (The total raised will be updated monthly – see below). The idea is to give something back to the volunteers who are there to take care of us if we ever have an accident on the hills or out walking.
We started out raising money for the Edale Mountain Rescue Team, however, as our patches have grown in popularity and cover a wider area we decided to share the love with all the Mountain Rescue Teams that cover the Peak District!
The seven Mountain Rescue teams that cover the Peak District are: (Edale, Derby, Buxton, Kinder, Glossop, Oldham and Woodhead).
The Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation (PDMRO) is the umbrella body for all seven mountain rescue teams and one cave rescue team that operate within the Peak District.
As with all mountain rescue teams, the PDMRO is a registered charity (no. 506681) and is made up entirely of volunteers. They solely rely on public donations to fund their activities of helping people in distress and are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.

Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation (PDMRO) is a registered charity (no. 506681). The charity formed in 1964 after two separate and fatal incidents in the Peak District highlighting the need for a combined approach with the Mountain Rescue Teams.
The team organises the call-outs received for the Peak District and works with all seven Mountain Rescue Teams
The team of volunteers go out on emergency calls in the Peak District at all times of day covering a wide area, including Kinder Scout, and Mam Tor but also places further south like Chee Dale and Padley Gorge so they are kept very busy.
The sale of these patches will only donate a small amount but the idea is that seeing the patches on backpacks whilst out hiking will create conversations, therefore increasing the knowledge of Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation and the great job that they do.
how much have we raised?
Thank you so much to everyone who has ordered a charity patch. The total raised for our chosen charity (Peak District Mountain Rescue Teams) is…

Thank you very much

*Updated 4th January 2025
Message from PDMRO in January 2025 – These are some of the ways the money donated from the patch sales goes to support the charity.
“First of all, Happy New Year to you and to your family, friends and fellow walkers.
The total of £980* is amazing and is very much appreciated. It means we can continue to support the seven Peak District teams in a number of ways.
The majority of our expense revolves around regional training courses and funding the ongoing cost of the Peak team’s radio network.
The Peak District covers hundreds of square kilometres of inhospitable, undulating moorland in which mobile phone service is fragmented. We entered into a project a few years ago which saw radio repeater stations established throughout the Peak District. We now need circa £2,500 per annum to fund the costs.
As well as radio repeaters, our other major expense is regional training. These are training courses which benefit all seven Peak teams as a whole. The biggest training expense is the Foundation Course which, this year, will cost circa £4,000″.
*This was the amount raised in 2024
Message from PDMRO in May 2022 – “Your donations are being used to part fund our regional training programme. Every year, we organise a Foundation Course which sees new MRT members being put through a weekend of training scenarios. Your donations go a long way to fund this weekend.”
