The Mount Snowdon Challenge

Join Shelter on Saturday 29 June 2024 to take on one of the UK's most popular mountains and defend the right to a safe home.

The registration fee for the event includes transportation by coach from Birmingham to Snowdonia and back, allowing you to rest ready for our early start and then relax on the journey home after we complete the challenge.

We'll be joined throughout the climb by first-aid certified mountain leaders who will do all the navigating, leaving you free to immerse yourself in this incredible experience and enjoy your journey up 3,560ft to the summit.

Standing tall over the village of Llanberis, Snowdon is a part of a close-knit family of jagged peaks and can offer views of Snowdonia, Anglesey, Pembrokeshire and Ireland.

There is limited availability so sign up quick to avoid disappointment, and get ready to fundraise with us whilst experiencing those breath-taking views!

Registration fee: £40 per person

Fundraising target: £300 per person

Once you have registered for this challenge, you will receive an email from Shelter's Community Fundraising Team, to advise how to set up a fundraising page and with more details about the event.

You can also buy a Shelter t-shirt as an add-on for £5, or once you hit £100 on your fundraising page, we will send you one out!
