My story

 

We did it!

The British 3 Peaks Challenge was: Ben Nevis (Scotland) Scafell Pike (England) and Snowdon (Wales) in 24 hours.

Well, we just about did it ..we completed the challenge in 28 hours, but we ALL did it!  Soldiering on with groin strains, blisters, bust-up knees and all manner of discomforts after sleepless journeys in a rickety 55-mile-an-hour minibus.  Ironically, the way up was not such a problem for us, but we showed our age coming down.  We've put up a few pictures on the site as evidence of our endeavors if you're interested.

Thoughts of your generous donations were never far away, and we want to say a huge thank you for your support, and taking the time to give us your hard-earned dollar!  It has gone to a great cause and will contribute towards making a difference to the lives of some of the most marginalized people in our society.

******************************************************************************

Our page will be open until Mid-August, so you still have time to donate if you've not yet had the chance!

We ask that you please give what you can, because ..

* £15 could pay for travel and an hour of a youth worker's time to accompany a young refugee to their interview at the Home Office. Imagine the alternative - being under 18, and having to go through a confusing, scary, literally life-or-death kind of interview like this alone.

* £30 can help provide five food parcels and small cash handouts for our clients who are left without any means of support. Imagine where you might turn if you had no right to work and no means of making a living in a new country.

* £100 could pay for 20 young people from both refugee and British backgrounds to participate in a conservation project, learning from each other in a constructive and positive environment. Imagine what's it like trying to make new friends when sensational headlines lead people to dismiss you as a 'scrounger', 'terrorist' or 'criminal'. Projects like this are often the only way that young people get to find out more about each other and have their preconceptions challenged.
