Helena and I are doing this trek along with the lovely team of staff and BFTS supporters to raise much needed funds for their mentorship scheme.

BFTS believe in the power of sport for good mental health, teamed with a passion for the social welfare of young people. They work with children across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, both in and out of the classroom to develop and improve their behaviour and life skills. Their mentorship program uses sport to empower, educate and inspire young minds to think positively about themselves and their experiences, and for them to understand what it means to have good emotional and physical wellbeing. After all, this is the foundation upon which they will seek to find their place in the world as young adults. Every child deserves to feel supported and to have the opportunity to create a Brighter Future for themselves.

Every penny raised will go towards the Mentoring Programme we provide in schools and our aim is to work with more children in more schools across the East Midlands.
