Three peaks conquered for Meeting Needs

The Lime Venue Portfolio (LVP), Meeting Needs and Happy Days โ€˜Christmas with Sparkleโ€™ campaign kicked off this weekend with the successful completion of the three peak challenge. Led by Richard Kadri-Langford, Head of Marketing at LVP, three-day, three-mountain challenge raised just under ยฃ1000 for the charities, with more expected throughout the September promotion.

The team scaled Britainโ€™s tallest mountains, Ben Nevis (27th), Scafell Pike (28th) and Snowden (29th) on each day. The money raised so far was through the sponsorship of the team, however LVP have committed to donating ยฃ10 for every enquiry taken in September that quotes the #sparkle*.

“The guys put in a monumental effort for an amazing Meetings Needs charity,โ€ commented Jennifer Jenkins, Chair of Meeting Needs. โ€œThis is a brilliant initiative pulled together by event professionals that really care. We couldn’t be more grateful โ€“ and genuinely astounded โ€“ by their efforts. A real thank you from everyone at Meeting Needs.”

The challenge is part of a wider campaign developed between Lime Venue Portfolio, Meeting Needs (MN) and Happy Days, one of MNโ€™s partner charities, who create unique experiences for disabled or disadvantaged children. The campaign, โ€˜Christmas with Sparkleโ€™, is running throughout September to raise up to ยฃ2500 for Happy Days.

โ€œWe’ve had the most amazing support from the industry already for the campaign. The Three Peak Meeting Challenge has raised just short of ยฃ1000, all of which will go to a very fitting charity,โ€ commented Richard Kadri-Langford. โ€œWe’re really proud of how far we’ve come already, and equally proud to support Happy Days and Meetings Needs. The rest of the campaign kicks off today and is well on course to reach its ยฃ2500 target.โ€
