The Lightworks team are climbing a mountain, all for a good cause

June 06, 2014

Ben Nevis Challenge 2014 At 6 o’clock tomorrow morning four members of the Lightworks’ team will begin to climb Ben Nevis, as they take part in the Ben Nevis Charity Challenge. The challenge will see them climb the UK’s highest mountain (1,343m) cycle 25 miles through the Highland landscapes and canoe Loch Lochy; all in one go! The challenge is just one of many in Lightworks 25th Anniversary year. And, it’s all for a great cause. They’ll be undertaking this epic challenge to support Lightworks’ charity for 2014, the Cathedral Archer Project (CAP). The CAP day centre supports the homeless and most vulnerable people in Sheffield, giving them the support, food and the guidance they need to get back on their own two feet. David Forrester, Chief Executive Officer at Lightworks said; ‘We hope to break our fundraising targets in our 25th year, so we’ve decided to undertake our most physically-challenging charity challenge to-date, the Ben Nevis Challenge 2014. I’m pleased to say that training has been good, but it’s definitely going to be tough. Any donations to spur us on will be greatly appreciated by our team and those that benefit from CAP’s support.’ The CAP centre costs around £2,100 per day to run, so every donation helps. Please dig deep to support the Lightworks’ team efforts; inspire them to push through when the lactic acid kicks in, and visit our JustGiving page to help us beat our £1000 fundraising target for CAP. About the Cathedral Archer Project: CAP is a day centre that supports the homeless and vulnerable in Sheffield; founded in 1990 as a breakfast project, CAP now resides in a purpose built centre, where the staff and volunteers provide much needed food, shelter, donated clothing, as well as medical support. The CAP team go above and beyond to help those that use their centre, giving them access to a pathway out of homelessness by providing education and qualifications to enable them to seek work.
