Although the page is showing my charity as Oxfam, the money raised in Trailwalker is split equally between Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

Having served alongside Gurkhas, heard the stories of the retired Gurkhas and seen firsthand their communities in Nepal, I learnt that the UK owes a great debt to those that have served, to their families, to the communities they come from and to the state of Nepal.  It is an incredible relationship and arrangement that enables the Brigade of Gurkhas to function and having seen the outstanding work of the Gurkha Welfare Trust I believe it goes some way to repaying our debt.

I'm aware that the continuing economic situation is still having an impact on many people, however if you can make any donation it will go toward helping pensioners, families and communities that continue to struggle in a beautiful but harsh and impoverished country.
