A life changing journey – Our 20 Peaks Challenge recap!

“Honestly I can’t put into words how much working at Feel Good has helped me. I literally have only just got home and I already want to come back to all of you.

I have had an amazing time on the hike doing the 3 biggest peaks in England and I honestly didn’t want to stop.

I’m really ready for the next challenge that comes my way.

Thank you Regenerate for helping me and giving me a chance to go on this trip.  I’ve found myself so much over the week and can say I’m almost

at the point where I can actually say “I’m okay”.

We are family and I love you all”

This is a message we received after arriving home from our epic 16 Peaks Challenge last week- which was the final stint of our 20 Peak Challenge over the past few months.

 

The Journey

 

Over the last couple of months, we have taken different groups of young people from our youth projects out into some of the most remote parts of the UK, climbing the UK’s biggest mountains. We climbed mountains in the Brecon Beacons, scrambled up the Yorkshire 3 Peaks and of course conquered Ben Nevis, Mount Snowdon AND Scafell pike, before completing our journey trekking up and down peaks across Snowdonia. Together, we raised nearly £20,000 towards mentoring young people employed in our Feel Good programme.

Some of the young people we took have never left London before and some are facing huge personal challenges. These trips were not only a fundraising challenge, but an escape, and a chance to broaden our horizons – growing confidence, resilience, self belief and so much more. They got to create stronger bonds with other young people, and become a family.

 

“Thank you for everything, without doubt coming on Regenerate trips has saved my life.” 

 

Life Changing Opportunities

 

We are so grateful for all the support that we have received.  The more money we raise the more young people we can help.

It’s an honour to witness young people throw themselves into something completely out of their comfort zone, take risks and grow in their confidence, resilience, and belief in themselves. The sense of achievement they feel at the end of a journey like this, is the most amazing thing about these fundraisers – not only have they done something amazing by paying it forward and raising money for the projects they have benefited from, but they have honed in all the skills they have picked up through Regenerate’s services, and proved to themselves what amazing things they can achieve when they set their mind to it.

The transformations we see on these trips is always remarkable, and it’s together with your help that we are all making a difference.
