Three Peaks Challenge for KIND

In support of KIND, a charity based in the Liverpool area that provides support for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, four friends are aiming to complete the national Three Peaks challenge and raise £500+.

We will start at Ben Nevis in Scotland on the morning of the 27th April, then move straight on to Scafell Pike in England, and finally onto Snowdon in Wales. The aim is to complete each mountain one after the other, without extended breaks in between, with an underlying goal of sub 24 hours!

But we are ‘we’?

Simply put, we are a close group of friends living in the Merseyside area looking to make a difference, with your help! Consisting of Matt Fox (25), Olly Atkinson (25), Steven Ward (31), and Ben Potts (28), we are looking to channel some good old fashioned competitive spirit to complete a total of 26+ miles of walking, with a 3000m ascent, 462 miles of driving, all whilst trying to remain friends...

Fundraising for KIND

When we first came up with the idea to do a collective sponsored climb, we wanted to fundraise for a charity that was local to us which is actively making a real difference in the community given the challenging times we are in today, so KIND was a no brainer.

Since 1975 KIND have been working tirelessly to find new ways to help children and families throughout Merseyside cope with the effects of poverty and disadvantage. Although the region is improving in so many ways, Merseyside is still one of the poorest, most deprived regions in the UK and too many children in the area find themselves living in poverty and facing disadvantage on a daily basis.

KIND therefore provide activities, services and experiences that show children that life itself has more to offer, and that they do have opportunities to explore to help them reach their true potential. Through out of school activities, summer residential trips, festive hampers, toy parcels, and household and clothing support, KIND are making a real difference in the community each and every day.

We would be eternally grateful if you could help us make a difference by donating whatever you can spare, every donation big or small will help KIND to continue providing the much-needed support in such challenging times.
