The Ben Nevis Challenge

Charity climbers at the summit of Ben Nevis, Scotland, on a Human Appeal Gaza fundraising challenge.

1,345 metres of Scottish mountain. The tallest peak in Britain. A cause that can’t wait another day. On 4 September 2027, doers will walk to the roof of Britain to raise funds for Gaza. The summit doesn’t move for anyone. Neither does the crisis. Both belong to whoever shows up.

Are you a doer?

£35 to register. £350 to raise. One mighty summit. One lifeline for Gaza.

Yes, I'm climbing!

About the challenge

There is no shortcut up Ben Nevis. No view without the climb. No summit without the slog.

This is a real test on rugged, beautiful terrain. You’ll feel the weight in your legs and the wind on your face and the quiet thought, halfway up, of who you’re really doing this for.

The reward is a summit moment you’ll never forget. The reason is bigger than that. Families in Gaza receive food, water, shelter and medical aid because you dared to climb.

Your £350 could provide:

3,000 litres of water

A month of education for 3 children

Why we climb: the crisis in Gaza

Why we climb: the crisis in Gaza

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has taken more than 62,000 lives, forced families from their homes, and left entire communities in deep trauma. With your support, Human Appeal is delivering hot meals, food parcels, clean water, hygiene kits, emergency shelter, medical aid and education for children on the ground right now.

Every one of these interventions helps rebuild lives shattered by conflict. By taking part in our challenges, you become part of that lifeline — bringing food, water, shelter, healthcare and education to those who need it most.

Our impact since October 2023:

  • 12.7 million hot meals cooked and distributed
  • 154,000 medical consultations delivered at 24 mobile clinics
  • 107,000 medical supplies provided
  • Over 29,000 orphans sponsored
  • Over 29 million items of aid delivered
  • Over 145 million litres of clean drinking water delivered

On the ground since 1991, and we will remain here for as long as we're needed.

Don't dream of change. Make it happen.
