Story
The 848 Group is taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge to raise money for our National Charity of 2022, Samaritans.
The route is a 5200ft ascent, over 24 miles, in under 12 hours...
A team from 848 made up of staff from all areas of the business will be tackling the challenge on Saturday the 14th of May. Our aim of finishing all three peaks in 12 hours or less.
All donations will be greatly appreciated in helping us raise as much money as we can for Samaritans. 848 is passionate about supporting good mental health and we are proud to support this cause. All funds will go direct to Samaritans after the challenge.
