Mountain Kingdoms bake for charity
Last week Mountain Kingdoms had their own Bake Off and helped raised a tasty sum of £245 for the Nepali Children's Trust
The team baked hundreds of small cakes to feed the the 500 runners who took part in an off-road race in the Forest of Dean organised by Rogueruns. For every runner who took part, Rogueruns gave 50p to Mountain Kingdoms for their bakes. The £245 raised was then donated by Mountain Kingdoms to the Nepali Children's Trust who support the Newlife Centre orphanage in Nepal.
The Newlife Centre was built to provide a haven in Kathmandu for children with varying degrees of disability. It's a place where they receive medical treatment, rehabilitation and education, as well lots of TLC from Fran McGowan and her dedicated staff. Sadly, the Centre was badly damaged by the earthquake in 2015 and rebuilding work is still being carried out. All funds are therefore absolutely vital to get the Centre fully up and running again. More information about the Nepali Children's Trust can be found on our Responsible Travel page.
