Balkans Mind over Mountains

Scott Pendrey is raising money for Mind

Team: Balkans Mind over Mountains

Balkans 3 country trek for mental health · 28 September 2026

We’re Mind, the mental health charity, working across England & Wales. We believe no one should face a mental health problem alone. We’re here for you. Whether you’re stressed, depressed or in crisis. We’ll listen, give support & advice, & fight your corner. Thanks for fundraising for national Mind.

Story

On 28th September 2026, I will be trekking through the Balkans as part of a group of 100 McKinsey colleagues to raise money for Mind, a charity focused on supporting mental health and dedicated to reduce stigma and help people struggling with anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges.

With no access to a shower, 'proper' toilet or the outside world, I will be carrying all of my personal equipment and camping gear for 6 days and will be roughing it in the wild terrain of Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro!

Your support is much appreciated!
