Over half way towards our target! Let's really have one last big push this week! Badger everyone you meet (Sarah and Ashling, I don't mean a real badger...)

 

Remember, BBC Children In Need this year is on Friday the 19th of November!

In aid of this Greenhill YMCA Activity centre has challenged Barclays UKRB Vendor Relations Team to show what we are made of! Employees from across the UK have answered the call with team members from Belfast, Coventry, Leeds & London taking part.

The Instructors at Greenhill Activity Centre have set us a series of tough challenges (tasks, obstacles, distance and time trials on land and water) in order to raise money for BBC Children In Need. Together with Greenhill YMCA we are doing our part to make a difference, so please donate generously to this fantastic cause.

UKRB Vendor Relations will split into two teams, “Surf” and “Turf”.

Team “Surf” has a water challenge: Two teams of five Barclays Employees each shall design and build their own rafts before attempting to cross Castlewellan Lake.

Team “Turf” has an aerial time trial: The Team must navigate a High Ropes Course (20 feet above ground) in a time faster than that set by the Greenhill Activity Centre Staff on the day.

What's more, Barclays will match every £ you donate for the first £3,000 raised. That's potentially £6,000 for Children in Need! So make your donations go further and sponsor UKRB Vendor Relations today!

Thank you so much for your support,
