Members of Walsall Council’s Youth Justice Service team will be climbing Snowdon this weekend to raise money for the James Brindley Foundation.
A team of 11 will take on the ‘Pyg Track, an 11km, six-hour ascent to the top of the mountain.
Funds raised will go towards helping tackle the causes of youth violence.
The James Brindley Foundation was set up in 2017 following the death of the Aldridge teenager who was stabbed in the heart while walking home.
“I’ve spent a fair amount of time speaking with Mark Brindley to understand his experience of the justice system and try and imagine what it must have been like for him and his family,” said Phil Rutherford, Youth Justice Service Strategic Lead.
“For me, Mark and the James Brindley Foundation serve as a great inspiration and we as a team wanted to play some role in the great work they do.
“We are having a bit of competition as a team to see who can raise the most money, and any donations would be greatly appreciated.”
