A group of us are taking on the challenge of climbing Snowdonia and Ben Nevis, two of the highest peaks in the UK with little hiking experience, to raise awareness and much-needed funds for those affected by the crisis in Palestine.

This is more than just a physical challenge for us. It’s our way of standing in solidarity and turning personal effort into practical support. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, over 13,000 people have been killed, and many more have been left injured, displaced, or living in fear. The need for humanitarian aid has never been more urgent.

We’re raising money for Smile Aid, an organisation working directly on the ground in Palestine. They’re providing essential aid including food, medical supplies, and shelter to those who need it most.

Every step we take on these mountains is a step toward hope, dignity, and relief for people facing unimaginable hardship. Remember charity does not decrease wealth.
