Climb every mountain! #TeamYST is sharing their epic adventure to complete the Three Peaks Challenge

A team of YST staff and supporters are lacing up to take on the Three Peaks Challenge in June climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowden. Follow the progress of #TeamYST in our live blog as they prepare for the demanding challenge ahead, whilst fundraising to support the crucial work that the Youth Sport Trust does.

Between 24 and 26 June, coinciding with the end of National School Sport Week, the team hope to raise vital funds to help more young people get active, improve their mental wellbeing, and bounce-back from the devastating impact of the pandemic.
