Three Peak's Challenge Fundraising Event - We're Doing It Again!
Yes, after successfully completing the Three Peak's Challenge back in June 2002, we have finally recovered enough to attempt the challenge again! On the last weekend in July 2008 members and friends of the organisation will try and climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England & Wales in under 24 hours. This will mean climbing Ben Nevis (4409 ft), Scafell Pike (3210 ft) and Snowdon (3560 ft), as well as doing 500 miles of driving. The challenge is not an easy one and more people fail then succeed. All the money raised will go to Giroscope and will help them to continue with their very valuable & important work in West Hull, one of the most deprived parts of the country. The charity renovates empty properties and lets them to people in housing need, provides training opportunities & work experience and affordable, high-quality business space for social enterprises & start-up businesses. You can support this event by sponsoring one or all of the participants - this would be greatly appreciated. Please get in touch with us if you would like further details about the challenge. The event's main sponsors & supporters are Sadofskys Chartered Accountants and W. Simpson Ltd.
