Hyas are committed to fundraise to support Crisis, a charity that offers direct help to people facing homelessness and we hope you can join us by making a donation and/or taking part in a fundraising challenge! For more information on Crisis visit www.crisis.org.uk.

𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 - In our Connecting Garden Communities Challenge we aim to cover the distance between the 5 Garden Communities that Hyas are supporting: St Cuthberts Garden Village in Carlisle, Aylesbury Garden Town, the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community, North Dorchester Garden Community and Culm Garden Village in Mid Devon. Our target is to connect together, a total distance of 750 miles. We will be taking part in various challenges to smash the 750 miles and maybe beyond! We’re going to run, walk, cycle, row and swim to reach our target.
