B&Q colleagues are coming together to raise funds for Shelter and their partner charities, taking on challenges inspired by the number 170. Whether it’s chatting to 170 customers about Pennies, or walking 170 laps of a store, we’re getting creative to help raise awareness and make a difference.

We’re taking on an epic challenge – and we’d love your support!😎

Picture this: the iconic 118 118 look, trainers laced up, and the two of us marching 170 miles over five days from SSO to Scotland stopping at 32 stores along the way. That’s an ultramarathon every day and the equivalent of nearly seven marathons back-to-back – plasters at the ready! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🚑🚑🚑

This is no small feat, and we can’t do it alone. Here’s how you can get involved:

Join us for a stretch of the journey – pop on your trainers or walking boots and walk alongside us.

Cheer us on from the sidelines – your encouragement will keep us going when the miles get tough.

Every bit of support matters and will mean the world to the team. Let’s make this challenge unforgettable together!

B&Q has partnered with Shelter since 2017. We share the belief that everyone should have a place they can call home.

B&Q will also be supporting with a donation from real Christmas trees and other festive products, as well as match funding donations from colleague fundraising and Pennies.

Every penny you raise or donate will make a difference so please give generously.

Thank you!

Paul & Simon
