Story

Thanks so much for taking a look at our Justgiving page where we're raising money for Snow-Camp!

 

On 27th – 30th January 2011, an intrepid team of ten skiers from Norton Rose Group will be taking part in the Everest Challenge each skiing 150km in covering 15 resorts, including a night ski and a night mountain hike. See more at http://www.snow-camp.co.uk/everestchallenge

Whatever the weather, whatever the conditions (however sore the limbs!), we’ll be on the first lifts each morning and the last off the slopes each evening with our ski guides keeping us on the right track – all we have to do is ski or board like never before and raise some serious money for Snow-Camp. We won’t even be stopping for vin chaud or hot chocolate (until the finish line!).

 

Why are we doing this?

We want to support and give publicity to Snow-Camp, a great charity which works with disadvantaged kids from 's inner-city areas, providing them with the opportunity to learn life skills and through the challenge of learning to ski or snowboard, helping them to build self-esteem, confidence, trust and self-belief. Snow-Camp gives kids faced with the challenges of gangs, drugs, poverty, guns and knives at home, a new challenge, a new perspective and a chance to find a new path. You can see feedback from the kids themselves at http://www.snow-camp.co.uk

 

So how can you help?

It would be fantastic if you can contribute what you can.  Any donation is hugely appreciated. 

A Snow-Camp bursary will be opened in the name of anyone donating £500 or more. Click here for more detail on what that means.

Justgiving will accept donations in £'s or $'s and €'s via Paypal. It is a secure way of donating wherever you are in the world. If you pay tax, the Justgiving site will add Gift Aid automatically, which saves Snow-Camp hours of admin and which means that the taxman has to handover an extra 28p for every £1 raised.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
