On the 5th and 6th of October, I will be joining 19 other StepStone UK colleagues partaking in the Three Peaks Challenge in aid of youth charity The Princes Trust. 

The Three Peaks challenge requires us to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within a 24 hour period. At this time of year daylight hours are approximately 7am - 7pm which means half of the challenge will be completed in the dark! 

6am - 11am - Ben Nevis - The highest mountain in the UK, at 1,344 metres

5pm - 9pm - Scafell Pike - The highest peak in England at 978 metres

2am - 6am - Mt Snowdon - The Welsh giant at 1,085 metres

We are completing this challenge to raise money for the Prince's Trust whom work with troubled young people to help them transform their lives. Their programmes are for 13 to 30-year-olds who have struggled at school, been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law and are designed to empower them with skills needed to get into jobs, education or training. This is a fantastic cause and so important to give these young people a fair chance to succeed. 

Any donation would be greatly appreciated in support for this fantastic cause.
