stretch out a helping hand
"You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you."- John Bunyan
Over the years we have partnered with many
organisations and people who work tirelessly to help raise funds for
those in need. Our events have ranged from arranging climbs for the
Blind to help raise awareness and funds to assist Blind people, to
raising working with groups to raise funds to fight against rhino
poaching in South Africa. If you have a charity event, contact us about
how we can work with you.

The incredible Linda Gaitskell climbed Kilimanjaro in 2012 with friend

make people more able." The climb was undertaken to raise funds for
Parkinson's UK
12 climbers from Australia joined up with a South African group of 12 and one climber from Belgium to climb Kilimanjaro. The group of 25 people was comprised of 8
