Not long ago Will became a trustee of the 3 Pillars charity and he's done a great job of telling us all about it... so much so that me and Bert have found ourselves joining in with a rather mamouth fundraising event! Yikes. Below is some info about the charity and what we'll be doing on 28/29th June.

3Pillars Project’s vision is to deliver the world’s leading sports-based mentoring programme for young men in the criminal justice system; those vulnerable to engaging in crime, in custody, and recently released from prison. We empower participants through trust-based relationships and long-term engagement to reintegrate into their community, create positive change in their lives, and transform their futures.

Working across the South of England and the Midlands, our intervention, GAMEPLAN, embodies three academies that support a young man’s journey from prison into education, employment or training. It focuses on three core pillars of exercise, education, and ethos as a foundation for effective rehabilitation. Our holistic approach utilises positive role models, sport, and the power of community to equip young men with a toolkit of skills to forge a brighter future.

3Pillars Project is hosting a hiking challenge event to raise money for GAMEPLAN, over 2 days me and Bert, and Will, will push ourselves, and the rest of the team, to reach new heights, scaling the three major peaks in the Yorkshire Dales; Whernside, Ingleborough and Pen-YGhent.

This will be a test of endurance, determination and teamwork.
