Endeavour want to capture all our fascinating history through a variety of exciting activities within our new Heroes project.
Endeavour was established by Dick Allcock and supported by Sir John Hunt shortly after he led the team that conquered Everest with the aim of passing on human values of teamwork, personal responsibility, responding to challenge and overcoming adversity. Since 1955, Endeavour has worked with disadvantaged young people. John Hunt was Endeavours President until his death in 1998, helping us to gain a Royal Patron (HRH the Duke of Kent) in 1980.
Endeavour has approached the Heritage Lottery Fund to help us bring our heritage to life and the first part of this process will be to bring Endeavours young people to a residential event in London at the end of May, to learn about our history. We have invited our Patron, and Lord Hunts daughter (Sue Leyden, now a trustee of the Himalayan Trust) to join us. We aim (with help from the Royal Archivists) to have digitised all Endeavours films and bring other memorabilia to this unique event.
At least 50 young people from all Endeavours projects across the country will come together for this event, to visit London sights and to take part in the Everest event on 29 May. |
