Mahdlo launches anniversary Three Peaks challenge for young people

Mahdlo 3 Peaks

Supporters are being invited to take part in a 15 mile Three Peaks of Saddleworth challenge as Oldham youth charity Mahdlo Youth Zone marks its 15th anniversary.

The fundraising event will take place on Saturday 4 July and aims to raise money for services supporting young people across the borough.

Now in its 11th year, the Three Peaks of Saddleworth challenge will take participants across Pots and Pans, Indian's Head and Wharmton Hill.

The route will begin and end at The Royal George in Oldham, with funds raised helping Mahdlo continue its work with local young people.

Organisers have expanded this year's event to include runners and dog walkers, alongside those completing the challenge on foot. Individuals, families and workplace teams are all being encouraged to take part.

The event is being supported by headline sponsor KG Construction, alongside associate sponsors R Tindall Fabricators Ltd and Hulme Grammar School.

Lucy Lees, Chief Executive of Mahdlo Youth Zone, said, "We are delighted to be bringing back the Three Peaks of Saddleworth challenge and are incredibly grateful to everyone who is supporting the event, whether it's by taking part, volunteering or donating.

"I'd also like to thank our headline sponsor, KG Construction, and our associate sponsors R Tindall Fabricators Ltd and Hulme Grammar School for their generous support. Events like this simply wouldn't be possible without the commitment of our supporters and patrons.

"Every pound raised will help us continue to provide opportunities, raise aspirations and deliver support for young people across Oldham. There's still time for people to sign up and join us for what will be a fantastic day."

Luke Greaves, Projects and Operations Manager at KG Construction, said the company was proud to support the event for a fourth consecutive year.

He said, "For the fourth year running, KG Construction is proud to sponsor Mahdlo Youth Zone's annual Three Peaks of Saddleworth challenge.

"Supporting Mahdlo reflects the company's commitment to investing in young people and helping provide opportunities, guidance and safe spaces for our local community.

"The event brings together hundreds of people of all ages for a full day hike, raising vital funds for an incredible local cause while taking in some of the best views Oldham has to offer."
