Climbing Mountains for Mental Health…
This June, a team of 13 from Red Systems are taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge to make a difference for mental health in construction. Training is well under way and the team, led by our MD Mike Green, have already been clocking up thousands of steps as they prepare for the big challenge.
The initiative is designed to raise much needed funds for our official charity partners, the incredible Lighthouse Charity and shine a spotlight on mental health in the construction industry. Why? Because talking about mental health matters, and sometimes you need to climb a mountain (or three!) to get people’s attention.
The Challenge
Our 13-strong team will be tackling the magnificent Yorkshire 3 Peaks – a challenging 24-mile circular route covering the stunning peaks of:
• Pen-y-ghent (694m)
• Ingleborough (723m)
• Whernside (736m)
On Monday, June 23rd, 2025, we’ll be starting at the crack of dawn and hoping to finish before sunset. That’s about 12 hours of walking, 24 miles of distance, and more than 1,600m of climbing across some of Yorkshire’s most beautiful but demanding terrain.
Why The Lighthouse Charity?
The construction industry has one of the highest rates of mental health issues and suicide in the UK workforce. The Lighthouse Charity is doing amazing work to change this reality by:
• Running a 24/7 lifeline for people who need someone to talk to
• Teaching the industry how to better support mental health
• Looking after families when the worst happens
• Spreading the word that it’s OK not to be OK
