A team of 27 will take undertake the Tough Mudder obstacle course at Manchester’s
Heaton Park on Saturday 13 July.

Four partners at the firm will be among those taking part in Tough Mudder, a 10km course featuring 20 obstacles.

42nd Street, which supports the wellbeing and mental health of young people, is
Hurst’s charity of the year for the second year running.

Lisa Everett, an associate manager in Hurst’s business services team who is
organising the firm’s involvement in the event, said: “42nd Street is a remarkable
charity which is dedicated to providing crucial support to young people navigating the
challenges of stress and mental health.

“It stands as a beacon of hope for those in need, and the money we raise will make a
real difference to its ability to provide vital support, counselling and resources. We want to raise as much as possible, with all donations going straight to the charity. As a firm, we are committed to making a positive impact, not only on the business landscape but also on the lives of those in our community, and we are eager to contribute to 42 nd Street’s fantastic work through our collective action.”

Simone Spray, chief executive 42nd Street, added: “With the needs of young people being so huge at the moment, we are always looking for new ways to meet demand and offer young people assistance that works for them and addresses their unique needs.

“Our partnership with Hurst has enabled us to support more young people, notably
through our creative programme at our venue, The Horsfall. Young people have
been able to work alongside professional artists and mental health practitioners to
produce and exhibit incredible work whilst addressing their mental health challenges
and learning coping mechanisms.”
