Hallam 35 challenge marks milestone anniversary with charity hike
Employees from Sheffield-based strategic land promotion firm Hallam Land (Hallam), subsidiary of Henry Boot, have raised over £20,000 for homelessness charity Crisis by embarking on a gruelling fundraising event.
To celebrate its 35th anniversary, 20 members from Hallam participated in an epic 35-mile hike through the Peak District. The challenging route began in Edale before the team climbed over Kinder Scout, the highest point in the Peak District, and finished in Baslow, just north of Chatsworth House, after traversing the scenic Monsal Trail.
The event aims to honour Hallam’s long history since its incorporation in 1989, during which time the company has grown into one of the UK’s leading land promotion businesses.
Hallam’s commitment to giving back is underscored by a number of generous donations, including a £5,000 donation from Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes North Midlands. This contribution will directly support Crisis, Hallam’s nominated charity for 2024, as it continues its work providing essential services to those facing homelessness.
Nick Duckworth, Managing Director of Hallam Land, said: “The Hallam 35 Challenge is our way of marking a key milestone with purpose, combining celebration with a cause close to our hearts—supporting Crisis in their tireless work tackling homelessness across the country.
“I am really proud of all the team that took part and we’re especially grateful for the incredible support from our partners whose donations highlight the shared dedication to making a positive impact. It’s a reminder of the collective power to make a difference”
Mark Cotes, Managing Director of Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Midlands, said: “As a homebuilder, we understand the fundamental importance of having a safe and stable place to live, and we are honoured to have contributed £5,000 towards Hallam Land’s fundraising efforts for Crisis.
“We value the impactful work Crisis does to address homelessness on a national scale, and we’re delighted to have supported our local strategic land partner, Hallam Land, in this challenge and praise its team for their dedication in completing a challenging walk.”
