UTC South Durham organised a sponsored climb for people to do in their homes on 13th April in order to raise funds for their ‘Visors for Victory’ initiative.
The stair climb saw individuals and teams scaling the combined heights of the National Three Peaks challenge from their homes. UTC Principal Tom Dower who took part in this as a team effort with his family said ‘The Stair Climbing Challenge was a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for a very worthy cause.’ So far the fundraiser has raised £24,000 in total with £16,100 coming from sponsorship and entry fees. Most of these funds will go to ‘Visors for Victory’ with any surplus funds being donated to the NHS.
