I’ve wanted to do the three peaks challenge for a few years now, so when I found out about the children’s society and the work they do, I knew I had to do my part. Climbing the three mountains in 24 hours will be a challenge in itself, but nothing compared to the challenges many of the children across the U.K. face today. The children’s society do amazing work for 10-18 year olds who face adult issues in their teenage years, so any donations will be greatly appreciated and will go directly to helping vulnerable children across the country. 

Children like Huda, who was sexually assaulted when she was 15 years old, facing honour-based abuse at home afterwards, which led to her frequently going missing and subsequently falling victim to child criminal exploitation, when she became involved in county lines activity, after being made to pack and carry drugs to trap houses by her abusers in return for places to sleep, food and water. Huda was unaware that she was being exploited when she was referred to a worker from The Childrens Society, who supported her to break free from the cycle of exploitation. Huda is now living back at home and hopes to use her experiences to raise awareness of the reality of county lines. Please support our my challenge, to create a country where children are free from disadvantage, where we fight for change, supporting disadvantaged children to have better lives.
