Story
2017 marks the 225th anniversary of WHSmith being founded. In
recognition of this acheivement WHSmith has pledged to raise £2m for charity
this year.
All fundraising will be donated to three charities, as chosen by
employees of WHSmith as follows:

As a team we will be attempting to complete the 3 peaks challenge in a 24 hour period over the weekend of 22nd September. This includes scaling Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike & Mt Snowdon and all travel in between.
Our team includes a range of employees from our Travel business Head Office, including our Group CEO, Steve.
Any and all denotations will be gratefully received, please give as
