The event was supported by QBE Insurance, British Gas and DRM and raised a total of £50,000, which will go towards funding our year-round programme, The Challenge Society.
The Challenge Network (TCN) has launched its first Business Group which will focus on piloting new initiatives as part of our year-round programme, The Challenge Society. The group was launched at a private reception for business leaders, held at prestigious 5* Kensington hotel, The Milestone.
