Nottingham team searching for their rainbow
Ten Nottingham
back-to-work experts are taking their fundraising efforts to new
heights – literally.
The team, who all work at employment and
skills specialists Working Links in the city, will be taking part
in the Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for a number of
charities.
The Challenge – taking place in September –
sees the team climbing the three highest peaks, respectively, in
England, Wales and Scotland within 24 hours. This means topping the
1085-metre Snowdon in four hours, the 978-metre Scafell Pike in
five hours and the 1344-metre Ben Nevis in five hours.
Charities set to benefit from the day are
Alzheimer’s Research Trust, The Foundation for the Study of Infant
Deaths, Cancer Research UK, WaterAid, The Lincolnshire and
Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance Charitable Trust.
As part of the tenth anniversary of Working
Links, an organisation that helps tackle social exclusion and
poverty through its work across the UK, all its 2,000-strong staff
are to give up a day of work to volunteer for charity – known as a
Rainbow Day.
So far, the group has raised more than £650
but hope to raise at least £1000. To donate, visit www.justgiving.com/summit4charity.
