Hi everyone. In May 2026 I’m taking on the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge, with a group of colleagues, to raise funds for West Mercia Rape & Sexual Abuse Support Centre (WMRSASC). The challenge involves climbing Snowdon, Cadair Idris and Pen y Fanin in under 24hrs. It's going to be tough and I'm going to need to do some intense training to be able to complete it!

WMRSASC provides free, confidential and specialist support to people affected by rape and sexual abuse across our region, including children, young people and adults. Our trauma-informed work helps survivors feel believed, safer and supported, while also investing in early intervention and prevention to help reduce harm and build safer communities.

Demand for specialist sexual violence services continues to grow, and funding is vital to ensure support is available when it’s needed most. By donating to this challenge, you’re helping WMRSASC continue this essential work and stand alongside survivors on their journey of recovery.

Each of us taking part would love to raise a minimum of £300, and every donation - big or small - makes a real difference. I’d be incredibly grateful for your support; it will certainly help get me up those peaks...!

Thank you so much for your support.

Kate
