On May 10th, I’ll be swapping coaching conversations for climbing boots…

Because I’ve decided to take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge – 24 miles, 3 mountains, 1 big reason.

This year, Blue Heron Training is proud to be supporting Break, a brilliant charity doing life-changing work with young care leavers – those stepping out of the care system and into adulthood, often without the support most of us take for granted.

The stats are sobering: 40% of care leavers face homelessness in their first year.

Break is changing that. They provide mentoring, emotional support, job skills, and even help furnishing a young person’s very first home. It’s practical, powerful, and genuinely life-changing work.

So while I’m trudging up Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, dodging blisters and probably talking to sheep, I’ll be thinking about the young people Break walks alongside every day – giving them the support they need to take their own brave steps into independence.

💥 Here’s what your donation could do:

£27 = a one-to-one therapeutic session to help a young person work through trauma

£60 = helps furnish their first home – a space to feel safe and proud of

£122 = supports job skills training on Break’s legendary CoffeeBreak van

£284 = matches a care leaver with a trained mentor for guidance and support

Any donation – big or small – would mean the world.

Thank you for backing me (and Break) on this journey. Let’s climb some peaks and break some cycles.
