Story

Two years ago, Alistair Douglas and Graeme Shankland led the unforgettable Wadi Rum Trek, raising over £20,000 for Action4Youth. They are back on another tough challenge and they hope to match or exceed that incredible total.

They’ll be trekking over 20km every day across the vast, rugged, and endlessly unpredictable landscapes of Namibia’s legendary Skeleton Coast, a place known for its wild beauty, shifting dunes, crashing waves, and unforgiving terrain.

Our incredible group of fundraisers includes:

* Graeme Shankland

* Ian Langley

* Roger Wood

* Tim Wright

* Alastair Douglas

* Suzy Douglas

* John Riddell

* Ally Hunter

* Geraldine Hunter

Every pound raised goes directly to Action4Youth, helping us continue empowering young people with confidence-building programmes, life-changing experiences, and the support they need to thrive.

Your donation makes a genuine difference. Thank you for supporting our team as they take on the Skeleton Coast.
