This September, I’m attempting the National Three Peaks Challenge—because who needs a good night’s sleep when you can conquer the highest mountains in Scotland, England, and Wales in 24 hours? Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, Snowdon… I’m coming for you (with snacks, blister plasters, and probably a few tears)!

But I’m not just doing this for the breathtaking views or the bragging rights. I’m climbing for The Together Project, a small but amazing charity that brings people of all ages together to combat loneliness, spread joy, and create happier communities. Their programmes, like Songs & Smiles, bring babies, young children, and older adults together for musical magic in care homes. And then there’s Crafting Connections, where kids and older adults become pen pals through beautiful artwork and letters. I’ve seen firsthand the sheer joy these programmes bring—big belly laughs, happy tears and friendships formed that are just pure magic. The impact is profound—not only does it brighten the days of older adults, but it also teaches younger generations about empathy and community.

So if you’ve ever wanted to hear me ramble on about climbing three mountains, now’s your chance to make it happen and to support an incredible cause. Every donation, big or small, helps this brilliant charity continue changing lives and creating smiles.

Thank you from the bottom of my very sweaty hiking boots for your support—you’re amazing! xx
