What can you learn from doing a charity challenge with your colleagues? ⛰️

When River turned 30 earlier this year, we were asked for our favourite memories to create some social posts. Assuming that others would choose the key client wins, campaign work and awards, I said – half jokingly* – that my favourite memory was doing the Three Peaks challenge to raise money for our regular River charities and mark our 25th birthday. [There are lots of riffs on the Three Peaks idea – we did the traditional challenge of climbing Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in the Lake District and Snowdon in Wales within 24 hours.] While not, strictly speaking, a work event, there are definitely a few lessons doing an event like this together throws up for work… and life more broadly.
