Story

Support Teddies on an Epic Adventure!

From the 6th to the 11th of November 2024, a dedicated group of trekkers from the St Edward’s community will embark on a challenging and unforgettable journey through the vast and awe-inspiring Sahara Desert in Morocco.

This six day adventure will see our fundraisers traverse the iconic Chigaga dunes, guided by experienced Bedouins who will lead them through the ever-changing landscapes of the Sahara. The trek includes four days of intense hiking across some of the world’s most breathtaking terrain, where participants will rise before dawn to catch stunning sunrises, walk through towering sand dunes, and experience the shifting colors of the desert as the day progresses.

Why We Trek: Supporting the Teddies Partnership Programme:

This trek isn’t just about adventure—it's about making a difference. By taking on this challenge, our fundraisers are supporting Teddies' growing Partnership Programme. This vital initiative provides educational resources and support to primary schools and charities across North Oxford, helping to improve the lives of countless children and families.

How You Can Help:

Our trekkers are working hard to reach their fundraising targets, and your support can make a huge difference. Whether it's through donations or spreading the word, every contribution helps us get closer to our goal of supporting the education of pupils and enhancing resources for schools and charities in North Oxford.
