The Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours.

The three mountains are:

• Snowdon, in Wales (1085m)
• Scafell Pike, in England (978m)
  
• Ben Nevis, in Scotland (1345m)

A popular misconception is that the three mountains that form the challenge are the three tallest on the British mainland. Rather, they are the tallest mountains within each representative country: Scafell Pike is the tallest in England; Snowdon, the tallest in Wales and Ben Nevis the tallest in Scotland — over one hundred peaks in Scotland are higher than Scafell Pike, and 56 higher than Snowdon.

So you might be wondering, what do Vodafone Foundation do?

Through all our fundraising events this year, we want to help support some of the 65.3 million people displaced from their homes due to conflict or natural disaster.

Money raised will go to our longstanding partner UNHCR and Europe’s largest grassroots distributor of aid, Help Refugees. Both charities play a critical role supporting both the immediate and long term needs of those who are displaced.

In partnership with UNHCR money raised will allow us to continue to enable young refugees to access a quality digital education through our Instant Network Schools in both Africa and Greece. Working with Help Refugees we want to provide food, shelter and access to information for refugees across Europe.
