Mike is climbing the Three Peaks!

Mike Dalley is raising money for The King's Trust
“The Three Peaks Challenge”

on 23 April 2012

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
The King’s Trust supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to get their lives on track. Many of the young people we support are in or leaving care, have been in trouble with the law, or they are facing challenges such as homelessness or mental health issues.
