Hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro in Support of Refugee Council
Fundraising for Refugee Council
Story
Hello, thank you for visiting our page
Okay so if you haven’t guessed yet, yes, it is a fundraising page for a trek up Kilimanjaro. We (Alison, Kerry, Jamie, John and Laith) are hiking up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak at 5,895m, in support of Refugee Council (RC).
Before we start please know that we tried to bring him out, but unfortunately Bear Grylls wasn’t available on those dates, so you’ll have to make do with us instead.
Refugee Council UK is attested with all the relevant regulatory authorities. They provide refugees with the support and safety that all humans deserve alongside youth programs, group classes, a space to sleep, sessions with specialists and much more.
It is impossible for us to imagine what some refugees have been through in their lives. The little things may not seem a lot to us, but the support and opportunities that Refugee Council UK provide can really make a world of difference to refugees.
Did you know that just:
- £20 could help pay for a child refugee to attend a group session at RC's Youth Development Programme
- £50 could help pay for a child refugee to attend the classes they need to catch up on all the school work they have missed whilst fleeing war and persecution
- £100 could help pay for a destitute asylum seeker to attend drop-in sessions where they will have a place to rest, shower, wash their clothes and be given a hot meal
- £300 could help pay for therapy sessions for a refugee who has witnessed atrocities and is struggling with their mental health
You can find out more details about the charity from the link below:

Please know that your generosity can really make a positive change in their lives.
Given the climate today which can sometimes results in hostility and negativity towards refugees, we wanted to try and have a positive impact where possible and your donations would be greatly appreciated and can make a difference.
We really do appreciate every single one of you and we couldn’t thank you enough for the support. We will keep you updated with our journey and hopefully with a group photo at the peak!
All of the money you donate will go straight to the charity via JustGiving.
Thank you,
Alison, Kerry, Jamie, John and Laith
