The National Three Peaks Challenge is to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) in less than 24 hours.  This is a total hike of 26 miles and a total ascent of 3000m.  The timer starts from the start of Ben Nevis to the end of Snowdon including travel between the peaks.

As it will be very difficult and probably not that much fun we thought we’d take the opportunity to raise money for a good cause.

We have chosen to support one of Tate and Lyle Sugars’ community partners Newham All Star Sports Academy (NASSA).  We have personally seen the good work that NASSA do and we are keen to support them, so please give if you can.  All the money we raise will be matched by Tate and Lyle Sugars.

About NASSA:

“At NASSA we believe that every child is special and can ‘speak the language of sport’. We want to make good players – but our number one goal is to make good people! Our purpose is for all young people to have the opportunity to participate in, enjoy and learn through sport

Who Are we?

Newham All Star Sports Academy NASSA has been set up for young people in Newham and the surrounding areas.

We provide after school training clubs, a Saturday Academy, High Flyers Developmental Programme, volunteer programme, opportunities to achieve accreditation and NVQs, opportunities to gain coaching qualifications, Summer Scheme, holiday clubs and outreach work in local parks and cages.

Our goals are to build successful young adults and provide a real alternative to engaging in anti social behaviour, through creating awareness and understanding of the opportunities that exist in their lives. NASSA provides consistent motivation to encourage young people to stay focused and to pursue those opportunities with passion.

NASSA is a not for profit, independent organisation that exists to improve the chances and career choices of young people in Newham and the surrounding areas.”
