I'm climbing Kilimanjaro – all 5,895 meters of it – to help women rise above abuse and oppression. As a fiercely independent woman myself, I know the power of freedom.

I'd love to raise £5,895 for Saffron, a Sheffield-based charity that provides essential counselling and therapy services to women who have survived trauma.

Your donation will quite literally fuel my journey, helping me overcome altitude sickness, freezing temperatures, and 5 grueling days of climbing.

Every £ pound you give brings me one meter closer to the summit – and empowers another woman to take a step towards healing and independence. Join me in this climb for a future where every woman can stand strong and independent.

Saffron is a unique, life-saving and life-changing service in Sheffield.

We know that survivors of abuse and trauma can experience mental health issues such as PTSD and are at a greater risk of developing drug and alcohol addictions, eating disorders, and engaging in self-harm to try to manage and regulate emotional pain.

Saffron offer free, long-term specialised trauma therapy in a safe and dedicated space and have for over 30 years. Our clients are Sheffield’s most vulnerable women, many of whom have experienced multiple, complex traumas.
