Help for Children (HFC) is a charity supported by the alternative investment sector across the globe. HFC raises much needed funds to combat child maltreatment in every form around the world, where it is estimated that 1 billion children suffer some form of violence or abuse every year. HFC globally has raised over $58M since inception and touched more that 1 million childrens lives. We are determined to continue the work that we do alongside academics, social welfare experts and charities to protect children from unnecessary harm.

This year, HFC have set the ultimate challenge: to complete the paratrooper training course in Colchester, Essex. Comprising of 10 hard miles of mixed terrain, carrying the equivalent weight of a small child, each of the competitors will have trained for around 100 hours over a series of months to be able to take part in this mentally and physically tough challenge. No competitor is an expert athlete, the 50 participants are members of the finance industry who truly believe the work HFC does is worthwhile and so have agreed to take part this extraordinary challenge.
