On October 15th 2021 our beautiful, brave son, Jude, died suddenly and unexpectedly as a result of his complex epilepsy.

Jude’s loss has devastated our family beyond measure, but we are determined to bring something positive from the saddest of situations.

Jude lived with epilepsy throughout his life - suffering relentless seizures and experiencing sleep disruption, learning difficulties and social isolation. Despite all this he greeted each day with a smile and spark - always kind, always brave and never giving up.

I will harness Jude’s resilience, courage and determination as I take on this epic challenge, raising money and awareness for Young Epilepsy. An incredible charity that supported Jude so much in his life and after.

Please help other children, just like Jude, to live their lives to the fullest by sponsoring me via this page.

With warmest gratitude 💜💜💜

At Venari Partners, when it comes to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), we believe in deeds, not words.

Helping those less fortunate than ourselves is not just the right thing to do – it is an essential, integral aspect of our business culture and values. Put simply, CSR is, and has always been, central to how we operate.

This belief inspired us to launch the Venari Partners Challenge, our flagship, award-winning charity campaign, in 2023. The initiative gives deserving people the opportunity to go on a fully funded journey of a lifetime while raising money for charity. We are proud to have created a campaign that blends our dedication to changing people’s lives for the better with our enthusiasm for providing exceptional experiences.

After successful previous adventures in Petra and the Norwegian fjords, we’re bringing the Venari Partners Challenge back again in November. This time, nine amazing individuals will travel to the stunning jungles of Colombia, fundraising for charities of their choice. They will be accompanied by two Venari Partners employees, with Petra trekker Leighton Smith on board as team leader.

The journey will include 100km of hiking and rafting through untouched rainforest over six days. This is going to be the toughest Venari Partners Challenge yet, so please join us in cheering on our intrepid team!

You can find out more about our incredible trekkers and the causes they are fundraising for below. We are very grateful for any support – click below to donate today.
