“Thank you so much for playing a part in making little dreams come true! The children, and myself, have thoroughly enjoyed the process. Watching them all shine has been incredible. Thank you for all you do to make these things happen!” Teacher
A team from Lloyd's is set to take on the gruelling 3 Peaks Challenge to raise money for Delight.
This challenge involves walking the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours. On 14th June, the team will begin their ascent of Ben Nevis, which at 1,344m is the tallest of the 3 peaks, from there they will drive to and ascend Scafell Pike, 978m, and on to Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) where they will finish the challenge with a 1,085m climb.
The team is attempting this walk to raise vital funds to help Delight deliver its arts-based learning programmes in schools serving high levels of children from disadvantaged backgrounds and / or with additional learning needs.
Children from disadvantaged backgrounds face numerous challenges in their lives. At Delight, we use joyful and immersive arts programmes to improve children's emotional wellbeing, social mobility, confidence, aspirations and life chances. Helping more than 2,200 children each year, Delight's programmes give children the opportunity to work alongside professional artists, dancers and actors, and put on their own exhibitions and performances. Our programmes create a sense of magic in learning that helps children thrive during their schools years and beyond.
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 28%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving
