Three Peaks in 24 hours in support of our local community
On 6th July 2024 we are climbing mountains to raise much needed funds to further support the homeless and less fortunate in Newbury.
Including offline donations from fabulously generous local companies and some amazing support from Greenham Trust our total is now approaching £9000 - thank you
In 2017 Meryl set up Newbury Soup Kitchen (NSK), a voluntary organisation providing help & support to the local homeless, rough sleepers & those less fortunate in our community.
Each day the number grows of those who face an uphill struggle for food, accommodation and to reach the support services they need with NSK often being the first place they come.
On 6th and 7th July a team of NSK volunteers will embark on the Three Peaks Challenge, setting themselves 24 hours to climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon - the three highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales.
Your support will help fund the work of NSK which changes lives, often saving lives.
The Challenge…
Our challenge begins at the foot of Ben Nevis on Saturday 6th July. We aim to begin our climbs at 5pm, this should mean we are down by 10:30pm. We then travel to Scafell Pike where we ascend and ten descend ready for the last leg to Snowdon. We ainm to be up and down by 4pm on Sunday 7th - completing the challenge in under 24 hours!

The Team…
Our team is made up of Newbury Soup Kitchen volunteers who have come to know many of the local community through their work with the charity. We are also hoping to be joined by some more climbers in the coming month or so - stay tuned for more information and our blog that will be coming soon.
Support from local business
We are so lucky to live in a community where many local businesses take CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) seriously and have pledged money to support not only our challenge but on a monthly basis to Newbury Soup Kitchen via the Soup Dragons initiative.
