Housebuilder Challenge Raises £90k for Charity

THIS YEAR’S Housebuilder Challenge saw 150 participants in 29 teams from 24 companies raise over £90,000 for charity.

Participants from across the housebuilding sector took on the hiking challenge, exploring the Black Mountains area of Bannau Brycheiniog in Wales (also known as the Brecon Beacons).

The costs of the challenge were covered by sponsors TriConnex and Taylor Wimpey, allowing all the funds raised to go to Youth Adventure Trust. The £90,000 donation will enable 70 vulnerable young people between 11 and 15 years old to attend the first year of a three-year programme of outdoor adventures and one-to-one support designed to build resilience, confidence, and self-esteem.

Declan Cotton, Senior Business Development Manager at TriConnex, said: “What a great couple of days we had on the mountains of Wales. The course was fantastic, the weather was thankfully clear and beautiful and everyone who participated from Triconnex absolutely loved taking part – some even got emotional as they crossed the line!

“From a Triconnex teamwork point of view it is also a fantastic experience, we all work in different departments within the business, and it means relationships can be formed that you would not normally get the opportunity to have.”

Mark Davey, CEO of Youth Adventure Trust, said: “We are extremely grateful to our sponsors for once again covering the challenge event costs, and to the teams who stepped up and embraced the challenge and raised vital funds for the Youth Adventure Trust.”
