A GWENT hospice charity is hoping supporters will reach some dizzying heights to complete its latest challenge.

St. David's Foundation Hospice Care is on the look-out for energetic fundraisers to tackle its new event - climbing three mountains in one day.

As a result of a new partnership between the organisation and Western Power Distribution, the company is sponsoring the Hospice Heights Challenge on June 21.

Teams of four walkers and a driver will scale the peaks of Twmbarlwm near Newport, Abergavenny's Sugar Loaf and Pen-y-fan in the Brecon Beacons.

Kris Broome, of St. David's Hospice, said: "We are delighted to be working with WPD in this new venture and we would like to invite other businesses to not only take up the challenge of this event, but also to consider how they too might benefit from involvement with us."

Phil Davies, WPD's Network Services Manager for Wales added: "The excellent work of the St David's Foundation is widely regarded and we are delighted to be working in partnership on this exciting, new challenge."
