The Alliance team spent three memorable days completing a 100 mile challenge; crossing the West Country from Coast to Coast to raise vital funds for the UK’s leading youth charity, The Prince’s Trust.
In the Prince’s Trust Wild UK Challenge, sponsored by Capgemini, Alliance 4 the Black Country started beside the Atlantic Coast Porlock Bay in North Somerset, hiked across Exmoor, kayaked around Lake Wimbleball and cycled through Devon. Enduring a gruelling eight hours of physical activity each day, Alliance competed against other 41 other teams to cross the finish line in 33rd place on Exmouth Beach.
Tim Lang, Rennu Uppal, Neil Whelan and Gemma Butler took part in the challenge to raise vital funds for the Princes Trust; the teams sponsorship could help one young person completely turn their life around by enabling them to take part in the Team programme, the Trust’s 12-week self development programme aimed at getting them into work, education or training.
Team Captain, Tim Lang of George Green LLP said “I am so proud of the team for completing such a phenomenal Challenge. We are looking for donations no matter how large or small to help us raise as much as possible to help young people in the UK turn their lives around”.
