TIS is participating in the Three Peaks Challenge!

On Saturday, 31st May, a team from TIS will be taking on the formidable Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge.

This demanding 24-mile (38.6km) route, with a total ascent of 1585m (5200ft), will see us conquering the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough, all within 12 hours.

Why are we doing this? To raise much-needed funds for Footprints, an incredible charity that makes a real difference in our communities.

Footprints are a Nottingham based charity which transforms the lives of children living with mobility and communication difficulties across the East Midlands. At their centre and through their support, babies and children develop the skills they need to thrive and achieve their potential.

Their work is inspired by the principles and practices of Conductive Education, a holistic education approach developed to help children with disabilities consciously learn the life skills that come more naturally to others. Our work encourages the development of physical, communication, social, sensory, self-help and thinking skills, such as sitting, standing, touching, listening, looking, eating and playing.

We work closely with the child and their family in a safe, positive and supportive environment to encourage and motivate each child's desire to achieve tasks. At the same time, we give families the knowledge, confidence and strength to cope with the disabilities their child lives with and understand how they can help.

The age range of children attending our service is between 6 months to 11 years of age and our Education Team, together with children and families in group sessions, ensure a collaborative partnership working approach.

We are inspired by the teamwork, resilience, and community spirit this challenge represents. Every step we take brings us closer to making a positive impact.

Please support our journey as we embark on this epic adventure in the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park for an extremely worthy charity.
