Dacre, Son and Hartley team during the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

A team of property professionals has taken on the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for a Skipton-based children’s charity.

Dacre, Son & Hartley joined forces with iamproperty, Kempston Parkes Chartered Surveyors and Mortgage Advice Bureau for the challenge on Thursday 17th September.

The group tackled the demanding route across Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in aid of The Principle Trust Children’s Charity.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge covers around 24 miles and includes more than 1,500 metres of ascent, making it one of the area’s best-known endurance challenges.

Money raised from the event will support The Principle Trust, which is based in Skipton and provides free respite breaks for disadvantaged, disabled and poorly children and their families.

Founded in 2011, the charity works with families across Yorkshire, providing opportunities to escape their everyday circumstances and spend valuable time together.

Dacre, Son & Hartley has a strong local presence, with offices across Yorkshire including Skipton, Ilkley and surrounding areas.

The Three Peaks challenge formed part of the businesses’ efforts to raise vital funds and awareness for The Principle Trust and the families it supports.
