The Hedley May Challenge · 17 September 2010

The King’s Trust supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to get their lives on track. Many of the young people we support are in or leaving care, have been in trouble with the law, or they are facing challenges such as homelessness or mental health issues.

Story

When we founded Hedley May, we were determined to make a contribution to the wider community.
 
Our team chose to partner with the Prince’s Trust Fairbridge Programme and we have committed to raise over £100,000 by walking the 270 miles from our offices in Sun Court, City of London to the home of Louis XIV’s ‘Sun Court’ in Versailles over a six-year period. 
 
In our first five years of the challenge we have raised over £81,000 and trekked all the way from the City to Calais, over the hills and through the valleys of the rugged French countryside and one very long canal to Picquigny.  On Thursday 17th September, we will embark upon the Sixth leg of our challenge – starting in Berneuil-en-Bray and walking 43 miles to Versailles.  Being the final leg of our journey we want to raise even more than last year in order to hit our target, so please sponsor us generously.

The Prince’s Trust Fairbridge Programme works with over 3700 of the most disadvantaged and excluded 13-25 year olds, helping them to take their first steps back into education, employment or training.  The programme operates out of 16 centres across the UK.  Click Fairbridge Programme for more information, or here to read Danielle’s story.

Your money makes a real difference to support disengaged young people across the UK, inspiring them to change their lives for the better. 

Thank you so much for your support, both Hedley May and the Prince’s Trust Fairbridge Programme really appreciate your help.
