Team: The Unlikely Lads Go Up Kilimanjaro

Roundabout's Kilimanjaro Trek 2026 · 30 January 2026 to 8 February 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Roundabout's 2026 fundraising trek to Kilimanjaro will challenge participants to summit Africa's highest peak, raising funds to end youth homelessness in South Yorkshire.

Story

In January 2026, we — a bunch of unlikely lads from Sheffield — will be hauling ourselves up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak and we’d love for you to support our cause.

We’re doing it to raise money for Roundabout, South Yorkshire’s youth homeless charity, who provide vital shelter and support to over 380 young people every single day. That’s 380 reasons for us to keep climbing when our legs are jelly and we’ve run out of terrible jokes to keep us going. It’s likely however your support will keep us motivated as we question all of our life choices along the way.

Every penny you donate goes directly to the charity — not our snacks, thermals, or altitude-induced bad decisions — and helps young people facing homelessness get the support they need for a safer, brighter future.

So if you can spare a few quid, we’d be hugely grateful. And if you can’t, please just send us good vibes, or maybe a helicopter.

Thanks so much for your support ❤️
