Hello!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We are undertaking the Wild Snowdonia 10 Peak Charity Challenge on Saturday 18th June 2022 with a group of 100 others.

This trek will be in the remote Carneddau mountain range in Wales. And we will be hiking 15 miles, 10 peaks and 1400 metres ascent…in one day! 😬 🥾 😁

The charity chosen by the organisers is The Wilderness Foundation. It’s mission is to preserve wild places and change lives through outreach programmes that educate, inspire and reconnect people facing a number of challenges in their lives. They create opportunities for those wishing to learn more about their relationship with the natural world and what they can do to protect it. Some of their projects include:

The Blossom Project

Taking domestic violence survivors through outdoor therapy and trauma support, integrating bushcraft techniques, outdoor cooking and tree planting to connect them with nature.

Down To Earth Allotments

Where volunteers from backgrounds of addiction, learning disability and chronic illness are immersed in an allotment community and taught how to grow their own food sustainably.

Brave Futures

A nature based group therapy programme for those who have experienced grief, trauma, social isolation, anxiety and depression. Activities include walking, foraging and nature art.

TurnAround

An intensive 6 month mentorship programme for vulnerable young people. Through the power of nature and intensive specialist care they help individuals build confidence, resilience, teamwork and empowerment.

The content of the Wilderness Foundation’s programmes aim to equip and enable people to acquire skills from within themselves to navigate their futures safely and successfully. They currently engage over 6,000 people per year with the benefits and enjoyment of wild nature, but need our help to be able to offer more
