At the end of May, a team of Hobbycraft colleagues from across the business and a couple of our keen suppliers will be cycling from the west coast of Cumbria to the east coast of Newcastle, over the notorious peaks of the Lake District and across the Pennines - a total of 150 miles! We’ll be taking on this challenge to raise money for a very special charity ‘Together for Short lives’ www.togetherforshortlives.org.uk .

This charity works hard to ensure that every child and young person unlikely to reach adulthood, and their family, has the best possible care and support whenever and wherever they need it. The charity supports 49 hospices all over the country, therefore the money raised goes towards a local hospice for everyone.
