About

We are taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge to raise money for charities in the North East.

Starting at 4:30am on Saturday 2nd September we will take on the gruelling challenge, which we hope to complete in 16 hours in aid of Robson Laidler’s Community Foundation Fund, which gives money to those most in need throughout the region.

Director Martin Wardle who is also taking part in the challenge said: “We wanted to do something fun but challenging as a way of raising money for our Fund and to generate some great team building and camaraderie amongst our staff. 

“Giving back is an intrinsic part of everything we do here at Robson Laidler. We are proud to be an accredited B Corp, which means we aim to make our business a force for community good. The Robson Laidler Community Fund ensures we’re looking after those community commitments long-term.

“We decided on the Yorkshire Three Peaks as it’s something that those who aren’t at full fitness can train towards in groups and it’s on our doorstep! We've already set up training walks and are looking forward to the challenge.”

In support of the Three Peaks challenge Country Durham Community Foundation has agreed to match every £1 raised with 50p to generate even more funds to support local community activity.
