With our delivery partner Overbury, the BT Project team is raising funds for our charity partner Home-Start.
The team will undertake a three day triathlon which will start in the BT Snowhill office in Birmingham and end at the new Assembly office in Bristol. The whole task covers 96 miles in three days.
The challenge starts with the Kayak leg from Snowhill Hill Bridge to Alvechurch Marina. Then from Alvechurch Marina it is a 20 mile, 6hr 30min walk to Evesham. The final leg is a challenging 64 mile cycle from Evesham to Bristol Assembly.
Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support helping families with young children through their challenging times. Those precious early years of a child's life lay the foundations of virtually every aspect of human development - affecting how healthy and happy we are, our life chances and even how long we live. The emotional, physical and psychological cost for children in struggling families is immense and can last a lifetime. That's why for almost 50 years Home-Start has supported parents so that they can give their children the best possible start, despite their challenging circumstances. Home-Start volunteers are helping to transform the lives of children with struggling parents. Whatever they're experiencing - such as loneliness, financial difficulty, domestic violence, mental health issues, bereavement, multiple births or disability - our trained volunteers are helping with support focusing on what the families need.
