11 team members all with a variety in age and fitness levels are taking on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge. A 25 mile circular route, starting in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, and involves 1585m of ascent. The aim is to summit Pen-y-ghent (694m), Whernside (736m) and Ingleborough (723m) in less than 12 hours. Not quite sure how we agreed to this but everyone is ready to show off our achievements updating you throughout our training and showing off the Yorkshire scenery (and a blister or 2!)

The B&Q Foundation is a charity set up by B&Q to build on its commitment to make a positive difference in our local communities.

The B&Q Foundation believes that everyone needs a place to feel at home. So it’s putting efforts behind local charities who share this vision – helping to create better, safer places for the people in our communities who need them most.

The B&Q Foundation supports UK registered charities with a combination of grants, volunteering time and home improvement resources. From improving the safety of a home for someone with a disability, to providing residential support for people with no home of their own – the organisations it backs are making a difference to those who don’t have access to what most of us take for granted. And that helps build better communities for us all.

Note: We will pass on 5% of donations to Focus Ireland registered charity CHY7220.
