On Thursday 29th September, 8 members of the Miller Homes East Midlands Region will be walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks for Children First Derby. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, in under 12 hours. The route is a gruelling 24 miles with a total of 5,000 feet of vertical ascent. This will definitely be a challenge for all of us however we are determined to raise as much money as possible for our Regional charity, Children First Derby.

Children First Derby are a fantastic local charity which provides three bespoke services; Supervised Contact, Family Support and Mentoring services. Established in 1974 their founding aim is to relieve the distress and suffering experienced by families and children. 

The charity works hard to benefit vulnerable children, young people and families, making life improvements by:

- Responding to the needs of children where stress within the home may adversely affect their welfare or development.

- Providing support for children who are regarded as vulnerable and who may be at risk of social exclusion.

- Delivering community services designed to foster the general wellbeing of families with children.

- Providing services for parents which will enable them to better respond to the personal needs and financial support of their children.
