Hello, Katie Bennett, Daniel McKelvie, Grant Cunningham and I (Megan Carpenter) are taking part in the APM Challenge. This involves a team with little project management experience (less than 3 years) to raise money for a chosen charity. We have picked Harmeny Education Trust Limited as our charity of choice. Harmeny is a local charity which is located in Balerno. This charity is set up to aid children and young people with complex Social Emotional and Behavioural Needs providing services on both a national and regional basis. If you would like to find out more about the services Harmeny provide, please click the following link: https://www.harmeny.org.uk/latest-news/services-we-provide/ As part of this challenge, we aim to create a Roundhouse Outdoor Classroom for Harmeny. This will provide a depth of benefits for both the children and the staff: providing outdoor education for the children and a place to relax in a challenging environment for the staff. The valued total cost of materials required to fund the outdoor construction is £2000. In the instance that we do not reach our target or there are issues that will directly affect the build, we will use the money raised on a similar construction for Harmeny. Our team plan on swimming the whole length of Mount Everest up and down, which totals a distance of 17,696 meters. To put that into perspective that is 11.4 thousand Katie Bennett’s high (yes that is an accurate unit of measurement). The venue for the swim is Nuffield Health at Fountain Park who have kindly given us access to the pool. We will complete our Mount Everest Swim Challenge on the 17th of February 2020. We have a deadline of completing this project by the end of March 2020, thus are under a tight timescale. Any donations will be greatly appreciated by both the team members and Harmeny.
