We're taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks 🗻 Yes, that's right! We're swapping our office shoes for walking boots, and are preparing to take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge on Saturday 28th September!   The team will be pushing their stamina to the extreme, taking on the challenge and conquering three of the best-known hills in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which are:   ⛰️Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres) ⛰️Whernside (736 metres) ⛰️Ingleborough (723 metres)   Training is already in full swing, with some of the team bracing the British weather with some furry friends to practice getting their steps in!    It’s safe to say this is no easy challenge and an extremely demanding hike, covering a distance of 24.5 miles and climbing a total of 5,200ft!   This challenge isn't only to test ourselves though, as we're also aiming to raise funds and awareness for the amazing work of Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity chosen by the team themselves as one close to their hearts.   Macmillan offers support to everyone with cancer, so that they can live life as fully as they can, by providing physical, financial and emotional support. No matter what a person's needs are, they will listen and support them at every step.   If you would like to make a donation, please click on the link below. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dfrttkFk

But for us, the rebrand goes beyond aesthetics—it's a reflection of our commitment to our people and clients, simplifying our brand and reinforcing a culture of collaboration.

Lesley Sutton, Director from our Huddersfield office, has looked at the changes Labour could make in these areas. 👇 https://lnkd.in/eZRb2Dpn

We've raised £1,000 for the Alzheimer's Society with our Great Movement Challenge! 💙   We recently took part in our ’Great Movement Challenge', partnering with GoJoe, an inclusive social fitness and wellbeing app which uses the power of their highly engaging platform to connect and motivate everyone - regardless of age, activity or fitness level.   After a lot of healthy competition, at the end of the challenge, the team logged a total of 5,990 activities, completing 4,500 hours’ worth of exercise and covering a distance of over 14,000km!🏃♀️🚶♂️🏊♀️ This impressive effort meant we reached our donation goal of £1,000, that will be donated from our Great Ideas Grant, a pot of money set aside each year for community initiatives close to the team’s hearts. The team were asked to vote for which cause they'd like to support, and they chose the Alzheimer's Society, who tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with the disease today and in the future. https://lnkd.in/escRGTbP
