Story
The Challenge…
On Friday 17th June 2016, 15 members of our team will embark on the Calderdale Way 50 mile walk with a goal to complete it in less than 24 hours. The walk will begin from our Head Office in Cragg Vale, taking us through the night around the boundary of Calderdale above Halifax, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden - undoubtedly, this will be a challenge for each one of us!
The purpose of the walk is to not only challenge the team but also to raise money for two charities whose purposes mean a lot to us at Craggs Energy. An initial target of £1,000 has been set which will raise money for Watermark Calderdale and The Christie Charity.
Watermark Calderdale
Watermark Calderdale is a not-for-profit campaign which aims to build a flood resilience fund, accessible to households and businesses within Calderdale. The team at Craggs Energy were affected by and witnessed the 2015 Boxing Day floods with the Head Office neighbouring Mytholmroyd and Hebden Bridge. Watermark Calderdale wishes to raise as much money as possible to help local communities and businesses in the event of another devastating flood.
The Christie
Our other chosen charity, The Christie, are leading experts in cancer care, research and education. The charity raises money for a range of projects and initiatives focusing on 4 main areas; research, care and treatment, education and extra patient services. All of these areas are above and beyond what the NHS provide, enabling Christies to not only give their patients the best care and treatment possible but also their patient’s families.
All donations raised for the 50 mile walk will be split equally between the two charities. All donations, no matter how big or small, are greatly appreciated and will most definitely give us the boost to keep on walking! . If you would like to donate, please do so via our JustGiving page or alternatively, call into our Head Office based in Cragg Vale.
Thank you

8 years agoWe did it! After encountering a few injuries, 11 of us managed to cross the finish line on Sunday having walked the 50 miles in just 23 hours. Not many of us have moved from our desks this morning but we are all so incredibly grateful for all donations received so far which will be going to our two charities in the next week! The picture below is of our final 50 mile challenge champions all enjoying a well deserved drink at the pub upon completion!
