The team are raising money for Newcastle West End Food Bank

An intrepid team from Newcastle law firm Hay & Kilner battled through freezing gales and hailstorms to reach the summit of Helvellyn and raised more than £1,500 for Newcastle West End Food Bank, their chosen charity for 2022. The 16-strong team took five rucksacks filled with tins and packets of food with them to the top of the mountain as a reminder of the importance of the work of the foodbank.
