Yorkshire Housing colleagues have voted for Candlelighters to be our Charity of the Year 2025/26, so we'll be spending the next 12 months supporting, volunteering and raising money for this incredible charity!

The Candlelighters Trust (Candlelighters) is Yorkshire’s pre eminent children’s cancer charity, providing practical, emotional and financial support to children living with cancer in Yorkshire and their families. For more information on Candlelighters www.candlelighters.org.uk

I've always wanted to walk the Coast to Coast route from St Bees in Cumbria to Robin Hoods Bay. It's something that caught my attention as a child watching a series back in the 1990s with the route founder - Alf Wainwright. I've decided to go all in and attempt to run it as part of the official Northern Traverse event. So, why not raise some brass at the same time for a great cause. And, Yorkshire Housing will match fund all donations too!!
