Oldham firm helping to build positive futures for thousands of young people

Oldham firm KG Construction will be the headline sponsor for the Mahdlo Youth Zone 3 Peaks of Saddleworth challenge, which is taking place on July 1 this year.

Founded by owner and Managing Director Kristian Greaves almost 10 years ago, the growing company operates a family-run, quality-driven and dedicated team backed by highly skilled sub-contractors who deliver exceptional residential and commercial projects across the North West of England.

Luke Greaves, Operations Manager and younger brother of Kristian, said: "As a family-run company we have a strong commitment to our community and are extremely proud to continue supporting organisations like Mahdlo that make such a positive impact on the lives of those around us.

"We will be entering a team into the challenge to raise further funds and encourage other local businesses and the community to join us on the peaks.

"It really is a fantastic opportunity to help build a greater future for thousands of young people.”

Lucy Lees, CEO at Mahdlo, added: "We are incredibly grateful for the support of Kristan, Luke and the team at KG Construction for sponsoring the event.

"As a charity, we rely on the generosity of businesses and the community to continue to provide vital services and support to young people across Oldham.

"KG’s commitment to giving back to the community is truly admirable, and we are proud to have them as a part of our team in our mission to provide a safe and supportive environment where young people can learn, grow and achieve their full potential."

Claire Crossfield, Mahdlo’s Fundraising Manager, said: “Over 80 people have already signed up and we’re expecting another high turnout.

"The event gets better every year we only ever planned on doing it as a one-off six years ago, but it’s now become a firm favourite with the community.

"It’s a great day out; you can complete as part of a team, individually or even a relay as a family, some people bring their dogs too!

"It’s more than just a walk; it’s an investment in the young people of Oldham.”

Entry is £35 when raising money for Mahdlo with no fundraising target amount.

Walkers will receive refreshments pre, post and during the walk, a commemorative t-shirt, medal, and a route map.
