DSNY Kilimanjaro Summit Climb 2027

DSNY Kilimanjaro Summit Climb

At a colossal 5,895m, Mt. Kilimanjaro is one of the largest volcanoes to ever break through the Earth’s crust. Our challenge is to clamber above the sea of clouds to its summit. We begin in the lush rainforests of the Lemosho Glades, climbing towards the Shira Plateau – which is the perfect spot to acclimatise. From here we can see our goal: the ice-capped peak of Kibo. We then follow the impressive Southern Flank, Barranco Wall and Barafu Route to the summit. This is one of the toughest but most exhilarating adventures you will ever embark on.” (Charity Challenge,2025)

In partnership with Paul Fell and his company DSNY Wealth Planning; an engaging financial planning company who exist to enable people to live the life they want to live; this incredible challenge is an opportunity for 30 individuals to raise funds for Caudwell Children and Caudwell Youth, two charities creating brighter futures for young people.

Caudwell Children believes that every child deserves the chance to shine. For 25 years, they have been changing the world so that disabled and autistic children have the choice, opportunity, dignity and understanding they deserve, breaking down barriers and creating a world where potential is celebrated, possibilities are endless and inclusion is the norm. Caudwell Children’s core services include; Family Support, Mobility and Sensory Equipment, Treatment and Therapy, Short Breaks, Autism Assessments, and Growing Together family sessions. 

Caudwell Youth exists to level the playing field for young people at risk who may have experienced mental ill health, be care-experienced, or at risk of exploitation or offending. Not all young people have the same opportunities in life. We shape futures with person-centred support through mentoring and targeted intervention. 

The key fundraising deadlines are as follows;

  • £1000 by 1st January 2026
  • £2500 by 1st July 2026
