Support Tomorrow’s Leaders and Heroes - Double Snowdon Challenge Fundraiser
Dear Friends and Supporters,
The youth of today are tomorrow’s leaders and heroes. To nurture and support these future pillars of our community, we are excited to announce a unique and challenging fundraiser: ascending Snowdon twice in one day. This event aims to raise funds and donate 50% each to 'Scotty's Little Soldiers' and the Immingham Pilgrims U11 (2024/25) Colts.
Why This Cause?
As a Parent, Veteran, and Football Fan, I recognize the immense value of leadership and heroism in every aspect of our society. This fundraiser is dedicated to supporting two remarkable causes:
1. Scotty's Little Soldiers: This incredible charity supports children who have lost a parent while serving in our Armed Forces. These children display immense fortitude and resilience every day, overcoming challenges with the strength their parents exemplified.
2. Immingham Pilgrims U11 Colts: By providing much-needed equipment for this youth football team, we aim to develop and nurture future leaders and heroes, both on and off the pitch. Football teaches teamwork, discipline, and leadership, preparing these young players for success in all areas of life.
The Double Snowdon Challenge
Our dedicated group of coaches, players, and parents will be taking on the formidable task of climbing Snowdon twice in one day. The second ascent symbolizes the extra effort, determination, and resilience that bereaved military children, supported by Scotty's Little Soldiers, must summon every day after their profound loss.
How You Can Help
We invite you to support this noble cause through your generous donations.
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant impact and brings us closer to our goal of empowering young leaders and heroes.
Join Us in Making a Difference
As we prepare for this physically and mentally demanding challenge, we draw inspiration from the children and families we aim to support. We hope you will join us in this endeavor by donating and spreading the word about our fundraiser.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of these extraordinary young people.
Warm regards,
Immingham Pilgrims Colts

5 months agoWe have done it! We did what we set out to do. This group of amazing people smashed it and with your help we also smashed our target! So thankful to everyone who made this possible. All the support we received helped us dig in when it got tough, and it did get tough at times, without EVERYONE, even those people who have their names etched on this page, it would have been so much tougher. When I say 90% of us had never climbed Snowdon before, believe it. Only 2 of the 17 who summited had done it before! What an achievement! Thank you ALL!
