Sixteen members of the Banc team have decided to brave the elements and trek up Snowdon in the dead of night. We’ll be venturing up the tallest point in Wales at 2am to arrive at the summit for a (hopefully) glorious sunrise. The team ranges from the naturally cautious to the abjectly unfit –so, we need all the help and encouragement we can get.

But we’re all doing it for a great cause: Talk, Listen, Change (TLC). A local charity set out to support safe, happy and healthy relationships. Their dedicated team of counsellors do amazing work with families experiencing relationship difficulties, families rocked by cancer and elderly people experiencing loneliness.

Every penny you donate will go straight to this amazing charity – helping them continue their top efforts with some of Greater Manchester’s most vulnerable people and families.

We promise we’ll try to get some great pictures from the summit of us celebrating with the rising sun and a few swigs from the Champagne that Martin has promised to lug up to the top of the mountain. Let this be an added incentive.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed, or plans to before
we set off in the middle of September.
