On the 16th June this year, I will be joining 15 Spencer Ogden employees to take part in the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise funds for my company's charity of choice, Tomorrow's People. The Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks in England (Scafell Pike), Wales (Snowdon) and Scotland (Ben Nevis), all within 24 hours.

Tomorrow's People is dedicated to breaking the cycle of unemployment and dependency in deprived communities throughout the UK. By running ground-breaking programmes that focus on the individual, Tomorrow’s People helps the most disadvantaged and hardest to reach people transform their lives through work.

Working with young people at risk of falling out of the education system, those with criminal convictions, ex-gang members, carers and care-leavers, people with health problems and those with poor confidence and self-esteem, OUR trained advisers help adults and young people reach their potential, positively impacting not only the individual but family members, peer groups and local communities.

For every £1 Tomorrow’s People invests in a programme, at least £4.15 is returned to society in increased taxes and reduced health, housing and criminal justice costs.
