24 Peaks Challenge

The 24 peaks challenge is:

• 24 mountain peaks in the Lake District
• each one over 2,400 feet (including the highest peak in England),
• walked in 24 hours, over one weekend.
  

The purpose is to raise money for a children's charity, called the Mitchemp Trust. The charity helps disadvantaged children that have had trauma in their lives overcome their fears and  increase confidence through outward bound activities.

"Invesco Perpetual has helped sponsor the event for some time now. Our Contact Centre entered a team this year and Teleopti were kind enough to help with a very generous donation." says Matt Gove, Support Team Manager at Invesco Perpetual. "Each team had to raise £5,000 for the charity in order to enter the event. The team consisted of 5 climbers and 3 support crew and included Managers, a Team Leader and Call Centre Agents".
