Story

A team at Vistry Housebuilding Yorkshire are taking on the National Three Peaks Challenge - to climb the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) in under 24 hours.  This is a serious challenge, not for the faint hearted, and will take place on Friday, 10 June - the walkers will be walking through the night to complete.

We are doing this to raise funds for our chose charity PAPYRUS, the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, in 2018 over 1800 young people took their own lives. PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINEUK. Every £5 raised can help pay for a life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you.
