DACRES DIRECTOR TAKES ON EPIC CANAL CYCLE TO BOOST CHILDREN’S CHARITY CHALLENGE 

An Ilkley and Wharfedale based property professional, Paul Wilson, who is an area director at Dacre, Son & Hartley, is set to add an extra twist to a major fundraising effort for The Principle Trust Children’s Charity. On Thursday 9th October, Paul will cycle the entire 127-mile length of the Leeds to Liverpool Canal, aiming to arrive in Leeds just as his colleagues complete their own trek.

The challenge is part of the Homes to Hope Dacres Bingley to Leeds Charity Trek, which will see a 13-strong team from leading Yorkshire estate agent Dacre, Son & Hartley – joined by colleagues from Simply Conveyancing, Mortgage Advice Bureau, and Kempston Parkes Surveyors – walk 16 miles along the canal.

Starting at Five Rise Locks in Bingley and finishing at Granary Wharf in Leeds, the group hopes to raise £3,000 for the Skipton-based children’s charity.

The Principle Trust provides free, week-long respite holidays for children and families across Yorkshire who are living with extremely challenging circumstances. These include children who have experienced trauma or abuse, those growing up in poverty or disadvantaged circumstances, young people struggling with mental health issues, and families caring for children with serious illnesses or disabilities.

Rebecca Reeves from Dacre Son & Hartley said: “The work of The Principle Trust is truly inspirational, and we’re proud to support them. For many, these holidays are more than just a break – they are a lifeline. The opportunity to spend quality time together away from daily struggles helps families heal, recharge, and create positive memories that last a lifetime.

“We know this trek will be challenging, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges these children and their families face every day, and we hope to raise £3,000 which will be enough to fund five full family holidays. All donations, no matter the size, will help The Principle Trust reach more families in need and bring hope where it’s needed most.”
