ISG Performers Take on Three Peaks Challenge for Mental Health Awareness

In a remarkable display of solidarity and commitment to mental health awareness in the performing arts industry, a dedicated team of ISG performers and creatives are embarking on one of the UK's toughest hiking challenges. The group will be tackling the famous Three Peaks Challenge - conquering Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon within a gruelling 24-hour time limit to raise funds for Mind, the mental health charity.

Led by Will Jennison from Re-Take That, the team comprises talented performers from across ISG's shows, including members from Re-Take That, Ibiza In Symphony, Garage In Symphony, Mac Busted, and Royal Rhapsody. The challenge will see Sam Harley, Ross Bowie, Kieran Johnson, Andrew Simpson, Will Jennison, and ISG Creative Director Duncan McManus pushing their limits for this worthy cause.

"This challenge is going to push us to our absolute limits, but we've got such a strong team spirit," says Will Jennison, team leader. "We all support each other, and while it's going to be incredibly challenging, especially with the 24-hour time pressure, we know we're doing it for such an important cause. The excitement within the team is building, and we're determined to complete this together."

The initiative has received full support from ISG's leadership, with CEO Paul Waite expressing his pride in the team's commitment: "It's incredibly inspiring to see our performers raising awareness and money for such a vital cause. Mental health in our industry is paramount, and initiatives like this help break down stigmas and encourage important conversations. I urge everyone to get behind these guys and support them on this remarkable challenge. The performing arts community needs to stand together on this issue."

The Three Peaks Challenge involves climbing the three highest peaks in Scotland, England, and Wales - all within 24 hours:

• Ben Nevis (1,345m) - Scotland 

• Scafell Pike (978m) - England 

• Snowdon (1,085m) - Wales 

  
  

This gruelling challenge represents not just a physical test but symbolises the ongoing journey many performers face with mental health in the entertainment industry. The 24-hour time limit adds an extra layer of intensity to an already demanding challenge, requiring careful planning, teamwork, and remarkable endurance.
