Climbing Sandakphu, 25 May 2020
As coronavirus spreads, shelter saves lives. Your support will help protect people from coronavirus in dangerously crowded camps and after disasters.

Story

I'm sure you've all heard the news about what's been happening in India. Some of you may have even been speaking directly to colleagues in Kolkata as the storm hit and heard the wind and rain in the background. Not only have they got to deal with COVID-19 but a natural disaster as well.

It's over 5000 miles between the UK and Kolkata which makes it hard to feel like you can make a difference. So we're trying to do what we can, by raising money to support both a local charity (Shelterbox) and those impacted by Cyclone Amphan.

As a team we'll be climbing the 3665m elevation of Sandakphu, the highest peak in West Bengal, on bank holiday Monday.
