24 miles. 3 mountains. 12 hours. One powerful reason.

In July 2026, a team from DPD Group including friends from Istead Colts and Riverview FC are taking on the notorious Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise vital funds for the Elliott Holmes Memorial Fund (EHMF), helping young people in Gravesham access life-changing mental health support.

Since 2022, EHMF has supported over 650 young people with fast, in-person counselling.

• Average wait time: 6 days (UK average: 392 days)

• No waiting list in 4 years

• Delivered by 13 trusted counsellors

• Working in partnership with schools, Kent Police, Darent Valley Hospital and local organisations

• Providing ongoing support for families bereaved by youth suicide

• There is simply no comparable service locally delivering this level of rapid, barrier-free support.

Without EHMF, many young people would face months of waiting, or may not receive help at all.

Your donation could mean a young person in crisis is seen within days, not months. It could mean stability, hope, and a different future. This challenge will be tough, but the cause is far greater.

Please donate if you can. Together, we can change and even save young lives.

Thank you for your support.
