In March, Alicia Butterfield (Business Administration 2016) will tackle Mount Olympus in Greece to raise funds for the Leicestershire charity Falcon Support Services.

Alicia has been a member of the Board of Trustees for Falcon Support Services since 2019. She will take on the challenge with Lee Hardy (Fundraising and Communications Manager at Falcon Support Services), Emma Tattersdill (Partner at Bexley Beaumont) and Adrian Hosking (Programme Manager at British Army).

The group will be heading to home of the Greek gods for a winter ascent of Mount Olympus. It is the tallest peak in Greece at 2,917m. The team hope to build awareness of homelessness and the impact on the people that it effects.

The money raised will help to support a room at the Falcon Centre for an entire year. This will provide life changing services to the people who stay there.

Alicia is a member of staff at the University as well as a Loughborough graduate. She works as a Partnership Manager for Modern Energy Cooking Services.
