GPE are on a mission to raise £75,000 for our charity partner, XLP, through a week of ultimate challenges that will push us to our limits.
Between 12th - 15th June, over 120 of the GPE team will be attempting to complete the National Three Peaks in 24 hours, a marathon (42km) trek along the South Downs way covering 3,000 ft in elevation, a marathon walk through London's Royal Parks, a Tandem Sky Dive from 13,000 ft and other community volunteering activities.
XLP work with young people living in inner-city London boroughs with high levels of poverty and deprivation and struggling with issues such as family breakdown, unemployment and educational failure. XLP believe positive, long-term relationships can restore a young person’s trust in people, nurture the belief that things can change, encourage them to set positive goals, and work hard to achieve them. Last year alone, XLP supported over 4,000 young people and their families.
These are extreme mental and physical challenges that will push us to our limits, but it will be worth it as every penny we raise will go directly to XLP. GPE are covering the cost of the challenges, including offsetting the environmental impact.
Please consider donating whatever you can to help us reach our fundraising goal. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a HUGE difference.
