Story
Aviva Investors UK wholesale team are taking on the UK national three peaks challenge in 24 hours. We're doing this in partnership with CASCAID and NSPCC who work to prevent cruelty to children.
For those unfamiliar with this challenge, we'll be taking on three hikes across the UK in Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, which is more than 24 miles, over 10,000ft in altitude and a 462m trip - all in under 24 hours.
The team of five, Mark, Greg, Michael, Ale and James will take on the challenge to support those who need it more than us. We've got our hiking boots and compass (AKA James.... cough cough) at the ready, now we need your support.
Childhood should be a time to dream, but Covid-19 has robbed many more children of that opportunity. Since the pandemic and lockdowns: 1 in 6 children now struggle with their mental health - up from 1 in 9. The NSPCC has seen a 3x increase in children talking to Childline about sexual abuse within the family and, a 53% increase in domestic violence. We know that the right support at the right time can prevent both abuse and mental health problems from derailing the rest of a child's life.£4 answers a call to Childline from a child suffering in a silence. £25 covers an hour of therapy - rebuilding lives after abuse. Every penny you raise can help put a child's life back on track. Every penny you raise is helping give thousands of children the support they need to dream of a brighter future.
Thanks,
Mark, Greg, Michael, Alessandra and James.
