Scafell Pike
New Beginnings hike
Join us for our annual fundraising hike. This year we will be taking on the challenge of England’s highest mountain, Scafell Pike in the Lake District guided by Utrek.
This year will be a joint fundraiser for New Beginnings and supporting Yemeni orphans for Rafah International. Each orphan will benefit from: Essential foodstuffs for their family, an annual medical examination for the orphan and any other medical expenses, clothing, a school bag with stationary, school fees and school transport fees, prizes for academic success, a yearly outing with other orphans and their families, and weekly pocket money. Over 250 orphans are currently being cared for and more are in need.
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Myself and the caretaker of an orphan will be in Heaven like this,” and he held his two fingers together. (Al-Bukhari)

The best way is to contact family and friends directly.
Children
Children are welcome to attend. If they need transport, then they will have to register separately. We advise that only children who are experienced hikers attend.
Cancellation
If you cancel for any reason, we cannot give a refund. We encourage you to try and find someone else to take your space but please inform us ASAP if you need to cancel as coach spaces are limited.
Equipment
Make sure that you are prepared for any eventuality of bad weather. A good pair of hiking boots or trainers and sticks come in handy. Don’t carry heavy rucksacks as they will slow you down and make the hike more difficult for you.
