We are part of a large team of Supply Chain Planners who all work together in the Inbound Supply Department at Howdens Joinery head office in East Yorkshire. All keen walkers and hikers who enjoy fitness and the outdoors. We are doing this challenge to support and donate to the "I Can & I Am" bus charity which Howdens have been supporting since 2020.

In 2020 I Can & I Am gratefully received a fully converted London double decker bus from our company which enabled them to hugely step up their involvement with supporting and mentoring young people providing valuable tools to help improve self-esteem and maintain good mental health.

The I Can & I Am team take the bus around the South West visiting schools working with pupils and staff providing presentations and wellbeing workshops, combined with other fun elements including pizza making on the bus.

Their mission at the I Can & I Am is to enable those they work with to recognise their own balloon and give them the tools to keep it inflated. The strength of this message is that it’s simple.
