Staff at leading regional law firm Banner Jones came together on Sunday to take part in the High Peak Trail Walk to raise vital funds for Ashgate Hospice.

The event, which took place on Sunday the 17^th of March, saw walkers from across the region tackle a range of routes totalling either 17, 11 or 3.5 miles in support of the charity.

All the money raised will be used to provide specialist care and support to people across North Derbyshire who are suffering from a life-limiting illness.

Commenting on the event Lynne Pope, Marketing Manager at Banner Jones who completed the 11 mile challenge, said: “We’re really proud to be supporting such a fantastic cause which does so much to help people from across North Derbyshire.  

“There were some aches and pains along the way, and a couple of blisters, but it was a beautiful setting, and despite the early rain the weather really was lovely.

“We are currently calculating the final figure, but we hope to have raised lots of money and we are already looking forward to the next event.”
