Equistone is proud to support City Harvest as its 2024 Charity of the Year. City Harvest is a food charity redistributing free nutritious surplus food, that would otherwise be wasted, to those facing food poverty.

On 16 May 2024, an Equistone team will take on the challenge to trek the Yorkshire Three Peaks, a distance of 40km with over 1600m of ascent, all within 12 hours, to raise funds for City Harvest. The Yorkshire Three Peaks is a very demanding but rewarding trekking challenge, which takes in the summits of Pen-y-ghent (694m/2,276 ft), Whernside (736m/2,415 ft) and Ingleborough (723m/2,372 ft) all in one circular route starting and ending in Horton-in-Ribblesdale.

City Harvest was founded in 2014 by a small group of people in West London, who came together to address food waste and food poverty in the capital, forming London’s first food redistribution charity. City Harvest collects nutritious surplus food from manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers, from all over the UK, and delivers the food, for free, to 375 Greater London charities feeding those facing food poverty. By re-distributing food that would otherwise be wasted, they make businesses more sustainable and more impactful. They take food to grassroots organisations that feed some of the most vulnerable and deserving fellow Londoners.

We are excited to take on this challenge and hopefully raise as much as possible to support the great work that they do at City Harvest.
