Everest Base Camp 2026

Paul Cornell is raising money for St. James's Place Charitable Foundation

Everest Base Camp Challenge 2026 (SNC) · 7 November 2025 to 31 December 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

A demanding 130km trek to Everest Base Camp, facing brutal winds, snow, rain and sub-zero temperatures at altitudes of up to 18,500 ft, to help give young people in Nepal greater choices in life.

Story

Following on from our successful trip back in 2024 I’m taking on this challenge to raise vital funds for a Vocational School in Nepal, giving young people the opportunity to learn a trade, earn a living with dignity and build a future in their own country. In a place where the average income is just US$2 a day and opportunities are scarce; this school will offer a life-changing pathway out of poverty.

Your support will help provide:

• Classrooms and workshop buildings

• Sewing machines, wood-turning lathes and other essential equipment and tools

• Training spaces where students can develop real, employable skills

Supporting Nepal’s Children has already built two vocational schools, with over 1,400 graduated into stable employment. With your help, we aim to double their capacity, giving thousands more young people the chance to build a secure and hopeful future.

Plus, every pound raised by fundraisers directly connected with St. James’s Place will be matched by the business and used to support UK charity Jamie’s Farm.
