In June 2024, staff from Consilio, SYKE, and LOD will take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Our goal is to raise funds for the Consilio Cricket Academy, driven by Alistair Maiden, Consilio’s Global Advisory lead and founder of SYKE, inspired by Azeem Rafiq’s fight against institutional racism in cricket. Alistair envisions these academies as diverse hubs where anyone can pursue cricket, regardless of background. Learn more on our company blog.
