Story

15 friends are taking on the almighty 3 Peaks Challenge! The challenge is to complete the three peaks; Ben Nevis, Scarfell and Snowdon. All within 24 hrs! 

We are raising money for the amazing Rainbow Centre in Sri Lanka in memory of Stevie Graham. The money raised so far has already provided a new class room in Stevie's name, improved facilities and hopefully will allow the centre to continue providing support for those children that need it!

"The Rainbow Centre is a haven for children who live in appalling conditions.  Its aim is to equip the children with the skills they need to break free from the poverty in which they live. Its primary focus is to enable children to access the educational system. To date, the Rainbow Centre has enabled 140 children to go to mainstream school.

The Centre operates a free pre-school, nursery, day school, vocational training and scholarship programmes.  It runs medical programmes for children and their families.  It works to ensure, when possible, that children can enter into the mainstream school system.  The Rainbow Centre is the only facility in this area for these children to turn to.  It has been praised highly at national and local levels for its standard of care.

The children who come to the Rainbow Centre live on the street, in shacks or in shelters in slum areas without water, sanitation or electricity.  Their parents are unable to provide them with adequate care. Without the Rainbow Centre’s intervention, these children would not be able to go to school because they would be expected to work to support their families."
