This Spring, take on the Catbells trek in the Lake District while raising vital funds for Islamic Reliefs Turkiye-Syria Earthquake Appeal.

A delightful walk with wonderful views in all directions across Derwentwater. The highlight is the terrace itself a wide and relatively level path on a grassy surface which can be traversed with very little effort.

Over 40 million people have been affected by the Syria and Turkiye Earthquakes

On Monday 6th February, two enormous 7.8 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes struck the regions of South East Türkiye (Turkey) and North West Syria. Approximately 30 million people have been affected by the disaster in Turkiye and 10.9 million in Syria.

According to latest reports, a combined total of more than 51,000 people have already been confirmed dead across both Türkiye and Syria, and is continuing to rise as bodies are recovered from the rubble.

In war-torn North West Syria, a lack of infrastructure due to more than a decade of protracted conflict has left the affected population even more vulnerable. Millions of internally displaced Syrians are living in camps, and those hit hard by the crisis are entirely reliant on international aid to assist with this emergency. Communications are almost completely down, and health facilities are understaffed and under-resourced.

The situation on the ground is dire.
