Focus presents £6,000 to BASE 51 after Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

Multi-disciplinary consultancy Focus has handed over £6,000 to Nottingham-based charity BASE 51 after completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge.

The company undertook the challenge as part of Focus’s 30th anniversary celebrations.

Founded in Nottingham in 1994 and now with offices in London and Leicester, the Focus team wanted to mark the occasion by helping a local charity.

The donation will support BASE 51’s vital services, which provide crucial support and resources to young people in the Nottingham area, including mental health support, educational programmes, and recreational activities. The funds raised by Focus will help continue and expand upon these essential services that already have a positive impact on those in the local community.

Recently, two representatives from Focus, Managing Partner Jason Redfearn and Senior Consultant George Jones, presented a cheque for £6,000 to BASE 51. This impressive total was made possible by the support and contributions from clients, friends, family, and the dedicated efforts of the Focus team.

Jason Redfearn said: “Completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge was an exhilarating experience for all of us, but the true highlight was the overwhelming support we received from our clients, friends, and family. We are deeply grateful for the generosity shown and are honoured to support BASE 51’s incredible work with this donation.”

Verity Woods, Head of Fundraising & Events at BASE 51, commented on the donation: “We were delighted that Focus chose to support Base 51 with their Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge, as a local charity the support of business makes a huge difference to our work – the money they raised will help provide over 80 hours of counselling for young people in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. Thank you to everyone who took part and donated!”

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge, which involves hiking over 24 miles and climbing three of Yorkshire’s tallest peaks—Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough— in under 12 hours, was a formidable challenge for the Focus team. However, the sense of camaraderie and the motivation to support BASE 51 kept the team going.
