A three-peak challenge has raised more than £40,000 to support people experiencing homelessness.
A team of 14 staff from Leyland housebuilder Rowland Homes completed the climb in the Lake District, taking on Helvellyn, Dollywaggon Pike, and Nethermost Pike to raise £43,468 for Emmaus Lancashire.
Their effort will help the charity provide housing and personalised support for individuals working to rebuild their lives.
George Rowley, managing director of Rowland, said: "A huge thank you to everyone who donated so generously, including our valued suppliers, customers, colleagues, friends, and families.
"This was a fantastic team effort and we’re incredibly proud of what we achieved together to support Emmaus Lancashire."
The company matched the first £20,000 raised, with further donations coming from across its network of supporters.
Stephen Buchanan, chief executive officer of Emmaus Lancashire, said: "On behalf of everyone at Emmaus Lancashire, I want to say a huge congratulations and heartfelt thank you to every single person at Rowland for this incredible achievement.
"Completing three peaks is a remarkable feat in itself, but to raise an outstanding £43,468 for Emmaus Lancashire makes it truly extraordinary.
"We're also immensely grateful to the company’s suppliers, customers, colleagues, friends, and families who got behind the team with their sponsorship and support, helping to reach this fantastic total.
"Rowlands’ decision to match the first £20,000 raised demonstrates an exceptional commitment to making a real difference for people who have experienced homelessness.
"There is something especially meaningful about a homebuilder choosing to support a homelessness charity.
"Every day, Rowland builds homes, while at Emmaus Lancashire we help people rebuild their lives after homelessness.
"Thanks to this incredible fundraising effort, more people will be able to access a home, tailored life-changing support, training and opportunities to regain confidence, independence and a brighter future.
