On Thursday 9th October, a dedicated team from leading Bingley estate agent Dacre Son & Hartley will lace up their boots for a very special event – the Homes to Hope Dacres Bingley to Leeds Charity Trek.
Joined by colleagues from Simply Conveyancing, Mortgage Advice Bureau, and Kempston Parkes Surveyors, the 13-strong team will walk 16 miles along Leeds to Liverpool Canal. Starting at Five Rise Locks in Bingley and finishing at Granary Wharf in Leeds, the team will raise vital funds for The Principle Trust Children’s Charity, which is based in Skipton.
The Principle Trust provides free, week-long respite holidays for children and families across Yorkshire who are living with extremely challenging circumstances. These include children who have experienced trauma or abuse, those growing up in poverty or disadvantaged circumstances, young people struggling with mental health issues, and families caring for children with serious illnesses or disabilities.
Rebecca Reeves from Dacre Son & Hartley, said: “The work of The Principle Trust is truly inspirational, and we’re proud to support them. For many, these holidays are more than just a break – they are a lifeline. The opportunity to spend quality time together away from daily struggles helps families heal, recharge, and create positive memories that last a lifetime.
“We know this trek will be challenging, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges these children and their families face every day, and we hope to raise £3,000 which will be enough to fund five full family holidays. All donations, no matter the size, will help The Principle Trust reach more families in need and bring hope where it’s needed most.”
