For the third year running Youth Adventure Trust are inviting walkers and runners to take on the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge to raise vital funds for vulnerable young people. Sponsored by Beard Construction the event will take place on Saturday June 21st and starts at Oare, Pewsey. This unique challenge invites participants to walk, run or jog 10 Kms or a half marathon on Wiltshire’s most iconic hills – Martinsell Hill, Milk Hill and Walkers Hill – all while raising vital funds to help local vulnerable young people build resilience, confidence and hope for the future. Participants can expect a mix of challenging climbs and breath-taking views.
Last year’s Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge saw 155 people raise an outstanding £15,723 in support of vulnerable young people. That total was enough to fund 12 young people through a whole year on the Youth Adventure Programme.
Mark Davey, the Chief Executive of the Youth Adventure Trust says: “The Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge is a brilliant way for people to come together, enjoy the outdoors, and directly support local young people who are facing real challenges in their lives. Thanks to the generosity of supporters and sponsors like Beard Construction, every step taken on the hills helps fund life-changing experiences – from adventure camps to one-to-one mentoring – that give young people the resilience and confidence to thrive.”
Jamie Harwood, Director at Beard Construction Ltd, Swindon says: “At Beard, we’re committed to supporting local causes and helping to create thriving communities; it forms a core part of our community engagement efforts. Youth Adventure Trust shares our ambition to inspire the next generation we’re pleased to be supporting them once more.
“This partnership is about more than just corporate donations, it offers us volunteering opportunities, team building activities, and a meaningful shared purpose. I’m extremely proud of our colleagues’ efforts to date and look forward to seeing what other challenges we complete together.”
Registration for the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge is now open for friends, families, colleagues, and individuals to sign up and come together, challenge themselves, and make a lasting difference in Wiltshire.
