The day was a blend of healthy competition, enthusiasm, and community spirit as four Milton Keynes and four Buckinghamshire Schools competed in eight challenges with the winning school being presented with the Ultimate Challenge Cup and £1,000.
Emily Davis, programmes director, said: "Without the support from NHBC, Unity Place, centre:mk and Ringway, we wouldn't be able to reach as many young people in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.
"Their generous donations enable Action4Youth to expand our reach and have a greater impact on schools and young people through the delivery of The Inspiration Programme and The Breakout Programme. These initiatives guide young people towards the world of work and away from a life of crime, helping them discover new purpose and success."
