Great work from members of chambers who completed #YorkshireThreePeaks to raise funds for Spire Foundation, which means we can provide support for even more people this year
On Saturday a group from chambers took on the #YorkshireThreePeaks Challenge to raise funds for the @spirefoundation - completing the 24 mile trek in 10hrs 14mins.
A huge thank you to everyone that joined us on the day.

If you couldn't watch the Empathy Summit earlier due to the high demand, please log back on to view this and lots of other videos from our partners at: https://t.co/kvqrTDa7rd
Higher education, businesses and other partnerships can be convened by programmes like the Care Leaver Covenant says @PeterBazalgette

You can support the work of the foundation by becoming a supporter through our website. We will be running a specific fundraiser to help this young person - more details will follow.
As part of Care Leavers Week we want to tell you a bit about the work we are doing to help. We are currently providing support for a care leaver to fund an MSc in Structural Engineering.

We respect this young person's right to privacy and will provide updates, with his permission, when we can. His course is underway and like most students this year it is a little different with remote learning. We are committed to helping him succeed.
The young person we are supporting is a care leaver who has already achieved great things and has a first degree in engineering. To pursue his dream career he needs a degree in Structural Engineering.
Funding is very difficult for Masters degrees. More so if you are a care leaver. Along with another charity we have already funded his first year starting in September 2020
We want to introduce you to Spire Foundation. We offer financial support to individuals who are adults with learning or physical disabilities or care experienced. We fund raise to provide grants for education, training or other educational projects.
