Lee Marley Scaffolders to Scale UK’s Highest Peaks in Charity Challenge

Three members of the Lee Marley Group’s Scaffold Division are preparing to take on the gruelling National Three Peaks Challenge this July, aiming to raise £10,000 for two charities close to their hearts.

John Sparks, James Wood, and Christian Wright will attempt to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales — Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon — over the course of just two days, from 18–21 July.

The challenge will see them cover over 23 miles on foot and ascend a total of more than 3,000 metres, all in the name of raising funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, supporting children with rare and complex conditions through its One Last Wish campaign, and Band of Builders, a construction charity helping tradespeople and their families through tough times.

The scaffolders have already raised over £5,000, according to their JustGiving page — well on their way to their £10,000 target.

Speaking about the upcoming challenge, a spokesperson from Lee Marley Group said the trio were training hard and had already begun receiving support from colleagues and the wider industry. “Let’s help them reach their target and raise awareness for two fantastic causes.” the company shared on social media.

Supporters are encouraged to donate via JustGiving, follow their journey on Instagram at @lm_three_peaks_challenge2025, and help spread the word by sharing the initiative online.

The Three Peaks Challenge is one of the UK’s most iconic endurance tests, requiring participants to scale nearly 3,000 metres of ascent across three nations — all while battling fatigue, weather, and logistics. For these scaffolders, however, the climb is about more than the summit.
