Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) colleagues raised over £41,000 for FareShare by walking across Ilkley Moor and taking a zipline from the Cow and Calf rocks.
The event, held on 25th July, saw 265 people from across the Society complete either a 10-mile or 7-mile walk.
Some also took part in the zipline.
The challenge formed part of Yorkshire Building Society’s £1m fundraising drive for FareShare’s Building Skills for the Future programme, which aims to help over 2,500 people across the UK gain employability skills and move out of financial hardship.
Susan Allen (pictured, left), CEO at YBS, said: “We’re so proud of our colleagues who took on the Ilkley Challenge with such energy and enthusiasm.
“Whether they walked, zipped, or cheered from the sidelines, every effort helped us raise a phenomenal sum for FareShare.
“The money raised will go directly towards the Building Skills for the Future programme, a unique employability initiative designed to help people build brighter futures through skills, training and support.”
Gareth Batty, director of network at FareShare, said: “We’re hugely thankful to the Yorkshire Building Society team for their incredible fundraising efforts.
“Their support will make a real difference to people’s lives, helping them gain the confidence and tools they need to thrive.
“This partnership is a powerful example of how businesses can help strengthen communities and unlock opportunity.”
