HOP take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks!

Here at HOP we wanted to work together to support those around us that need it the most.

This Spring HOP will be closing their laptops and dusting off old walking boots to take on a gruelling 24 mile walk of the Yorkshire Three Peaks to raise funds for Leeds Mind and Ukraine Charity.

On 15^th April 2022, 15 staff members at HOP will be scaling Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside reaching heights of 736 meters and ascents of 1,585 meters. Leaving our Horsforth Hub at 5:15am, HOP aim to complete all three peaks inside 12 hours, and what better motivation than supporting two amazing charities who need our help.

We are always looking at ways to help our community so supporting Leeds Mind this Spring was something we were determined to do. Leeds Mind are a charity who support the people of Leeds suffering from negative mental health.

Leeds Mind promotes positive mental health and wellbeing, and provides help and support to those who need it. The charity offers many services including, counselling, group therapy, employment support, suicide bereavement support and mental health training, to name just a few.

1 in 4 people experience mental healthy difficulties at some point in their lives. Here at HOP we recognise the importance Leeds Mind has on supporting the people in our community who need it most.

Alongside Leeds Mind, we will be supporting the Ukraine Charity this April. The devastating Ukraine crisis has broken hearts across the world. As we all seek ways of helping the people of Ukraine, we wanted to support a charity who we know will and can make a big difference.

The Ukraine Charity has been running since 2007, helping the country by supporting disadvantaged orphans, children and adults as well as providing modern medical equipment to hospitals. The charity has however focussed their efforts in 2022 to providing humanitarian relief to Ukraine. The exceptional and life changing charity is run by volunteers, meaning the money we raise will go direct to helping those who need it.

We aim to raise £5,000 across both charities.
