Having spent many of my (almost!) 40 years watching lots of other people complete amazing and crazy challenges, I thought it was about time I got involved in one of my own!

On the 18th June, I’m going to be taking part in the Snowdonia Three peaks trek - covering 9-10 miles of varied and spectacular mountain terrain, with 1,100-1,200 total ascent.

It might not surprise you to hear I’m a complete hiking novice but I’m hoping that with some training, coupled with determination (and good vibes), I’ll be able to do it!

All funds are going towards Crisis, the Lloyd’s Banking Group charity partner (see details below). Any donations, no matter the size, would be massively appreciated and would make a huge difference to those who need it most.

Crisis, Lloyds Banking Group and Simon Community believe everyone should have a safe and secure place to call home.

Our ambitious partnership will improve access to truly affordable, high quality homes and support those who have experienced homelessness with tailored support to rebuild their lives and reach their full potential.

Together, we have surpassed £4.9 million in fundraising from the partnership. This is an incredible achievement but we can't stop here. More people than ever across the UK are facing homelessness and are in need of our support.

Homelessness is not inevitable, together we can end it.

Thank you so much for supporting my fundraising!

Matt
