Mahdlo steps out on 15-mile Three Peaks challenge to mark 15th birthday 

YOUTH charity Mahdlo Youth Zone is marking its 15th anniversary with the return of its 15-mile Three Peaks of Saddleworth walk. 

The fundraising event on Saturday, July 4, now in its 11th year, will take participants across Pots and Pans, Indian’s Head and Wharmton Hill.

Mahdlo Youth Zone will be heading out on its 3 Peaks of Saddleworth walk once again.

 

The challenge will begin and end at The Royal George on Manchester Road, with funds raised going to support Mahdlo’s work with young people across Oldham.  

This year’s event has been expanded to include runners and dog walkers, alongside those taking part on foot.  

Individuals, families and workplace teams are encouraged to tackle the challenge and raise money for the youth zone, based on Egerton Street. 

Lucy Lees, Chief Executive of Mahdlo Youth Zone, said: “We are delighted to be bringing back the Three Peaks of Saddleworth challenge and are incredibly grateful to everyone who is supporting the event, whether it’s by taking part, volunteering or donating. 

“I’d also like to thank our headline sponsor, KG Construction, and our associate sponsors R Tindall Fabricators Ltd and Hulme Grammar School for their generous support. Events like this simply wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of our supporters and patrons.  

“Every pound raised will help us continue to provide opportunities, raise aspirations and deliver support for young people across Oldham. 

Participants will head up Pots and Pans, Indian’s Head and Wharmton Hill.

“There’s still time for people to sign up and join us for what will be a fantastic day.”
