Trek events
 |
 |
These events are designed for ordinary people who want to do an extraordinary thing in support of our work. Although no technical climbing skills are required for any of the events, some preparation before departure is essential. In each case the trekking element of the trip lasts about five days (9 for Everest Base Camp). In addition to the help and advice which we provide, there is also a training/briefing weekend, which although not obligatory, most people find very helpful. This normally takes place in the Brecon Beacons.
In addition to helping our work and raising awareness of the complex issues relating to homelessness, for all the participants, it will probably be one of the most amazing things they ever do.
