A dedicated team from Airbus UK in Broughton are preparing to scale new heights – all in support of local children with life-threatening conditions and their families.

The 26 colleagues from the Manufacturing Engineering Operations department are tackling the iconic Three Peaks Challenge on Friday, June 13th. Their goal: to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Yr Wyddfa – all within 24 hours.

The challenge begins on Friday afternoon with a climb up Ben Nevis, followed by an overnight ascent of Scafell Pike in the Lake District. The team will then head to Snowdonia to complete the final leg up Yr Wyddfa on Saturday.

This is far from the first time the Airbus Broughton team have gone the extra mile for Hope House Tŷ Gobaith. They’ve previously completed four major charity treks, raising tens of thousands of pounds to help provide vital care and support to local children and their families.

We are incredibly grateful for their continued support, commitment, and energy. Every step they take makes a real difference, and we’ll be cheering them on every inch of the way!

Our Biggest Challenge Yet

Claudia from the team, said: “We’re really excited for it.

“As well as giving to this amazing charity, it’s fantastic team building.

“We’ll push through somehow and just hope the weather is kind to us.”

Accompanied by experienced mountain leaders at each site, the team are hoping to complete the challenge in just 24 hours.

Department Head, Guy Jones said: “It’s our biggest challenge yet.

“We’ll be travelling on three coaches and have arranged guides to help us through.

“There’s still some snow on Ben Nevis but we’re really looking forward to it as part of our fundraising commitment to Hope House Tŷ Gobaith.

“We’re even doing a fundraising trip up Mount Kilimanjaro next year.”

“Their enthusiasm is infectious - they always push themselves to help us raise the money we need to provide the best possible care to local children and families living with a life-threatening condition.

“You can do it and we’re rooting for you every step of the way.”
