Twenty4Seven’s story
At Twenty4Seven Education, we are proud to partner with Legasee Educational Trust, a charity committed to preserving and sharing the personal stories of British military veterans. Through this partnership, we help schools access Legasee’s free digital archive, filled with first-hand accounts of military service, key historical events, and personal experiences that bring history to life in the classroom.
This year, T4S staff are taking on the Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for Legasee Educational Trust’s latest campaign, Local Heroes, a new educational programme that trains young people to identify, film and preserve stories within their own communities.
Local Heroes combines oral history, video production, and community engagement, giving young people the confidence and practical skills to conduct and record meaningful interviews.
To help fundraise and support this work, our team will be climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon, the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales, all within 24 hours, including travel between each mountain.
About Legasee Educational Trust
Legasee’s volunteer filmmakers, writers and educators are passionate about preserving military heritage. The hi-definition video archive offers exclusive interviews with veterans from 1939 to present. Every individual’s story is remarkable, but together they form an invaluable record of modern military history.
This fundraiser will help continue the work and improve the way they deliver education in schools and universities.
A Rich Archive for Teaching and Learning

life in service.
