Charity Walk For Holding On Letting Go

On Friday 6th June, the Pentland Homes team took on a 14-mile walking challenge to raise money for our Charity of the Year, Holding On Letting Go—and we’re proud to share that we’ve raised £3,170 so far!

The route began at our development ‘The Barns at Wye’  and took us on foot to a number of our current developments, finishing at our head office in Etchinghill. The walk was no small feat, but spirits were high throughout the day, and every member of the team dug deep to complete the challenge—cheered on by colleagues and motivated by the cause we were walking for.

Why We Walked

Holding On Letting Go is a Kent-based charity that supports children and young people who have experienced the death of someone close to them. Their work is incredibly important, offering grief support through therapeutic bereavement weekends and one-to-one sessions, helping young people feel less alone in the most difficult of times.

Choosing to support this charity in 2025 was an easy decision for our team, and this walk was the first of several fundraising events we’ll be taking on this year. We wanted to not only raise money, but also awareness of the charity’s impact and the vital services they offer families across the region.

A Team Effort

Despite the blisters, sore legs, and the ever-changing British weather, the determination and positivity shown by everyone was inspiring. It was a real team effort—and we’re incredibly proud of the collective energy, encouragement, and resilience shown by our staff throughout the day.

There was a definite sense of achievement as we crossed the finish line at The Barns at Wye, tired but smiling, knowing we had made a real difference.

What’s Next?

After a well-earned weekend of rest and recovery, the team is already thinking about what comes next! We’re planning more fundraising activities throughout the year, so keep an eye on our website and social channels for future updates.
