Rowland Homes team raises £43,468 for Emmaus Lancashire

Together, the team took on challenging conditions, from sunshine to powerful winds across Helvellyn, Dollywaggon Pike and Nethermost Pike. Supporting one another throughout, the team overcame every obstacle and successfully completed the feat together.

The funds will help Emmaus Lancashire provide the foundation of a home and life-changing tailored package of support to empower people to overcome homelessness.

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.”

Rowland matched the first £20,000 raised, with the company’s suppliers, customers, colleagues, friends, and families all donating.

Thanking everyone who donated and embarked on the challenge, 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.

This partnership shows what can be achieved when a business, its employees, suppliers, friends and families come together behind a shared purpose. We cannot thank everyone involved enough for their generosity, determination and belief in our work."

Rowland builds high-quality new homes and operates across nine sites in the North West, from Greater Manchester to Cumbria, building circa 400 properties a year.
