Last chance to join Springboard's Peru Trek 2012 to Machu Picchu

Industry charity Springboard is offering hospitality industry professionals one last chance to join an epic trek to Machu Picchu, to help raise money for young unemployed people to embark on a new career.

The Peru Trek 2012, which takes place in October, aims to raise over £100,000 to assist more than 70 young unemployed people find worthwhile work in the hospitality and leisure sector.

Paula Moon from Nestlé, who is taking part, said, "It's a slightly scary chance I've been given to participate in this amazing trek. I can't wait to walk the trails and weave through the beautiful wilderness of the Andes, visit remote villages and the famous ruins of Machu Piccu. All this, and, knowing that I'm really helping unemployed youngsters achieve their dreams too makes it even more special."

The Trek takes place from 26 October to 4 November and to join the likes of Sodexo, Compass, Nestlé, TGI Friday's, Venners, Danone Daires, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons and the Prestonfield House Hotel, contact laureenw@springboarduk.org.uk, hollyh@springboarduk.org.uk or phone 020 7529 8610.
