Yr Wyddfa (previously known as Snowdon), is the highest peak in Wales and England. At 1085m high, it’s a tough climb to reach the summit, but you are rewarded with it's tremendous views of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) from its lofty heights. And with Action for Children you can experience the UK’s most popular mountain with an expert guide whilst raising money to help vulnerable children in the UK.
By joining our charity challenge you will join the expert Mountain Leaders of Climb Snowdon, who will support you from the moment you book till you reach the summit. With over 25 years of experience and enthusiasm to match, you can expect:

- All the extras: Kit list, training plan, safety equipment, and photos taken throughout the day.

More about Action for Children
What does Action for Children do?
We protect and support children and young people across. We do this by providing practical and emotional care and support. We make sure their voices are heard. And we campaign to bring lasting improvements to their lives.
Today, we run 426 services in local communities across the UK, in schools, and online.
In our nurseries and children's centres, staff make sure children get the best start in life. Our foster and modern residential services find children and young people safe and loving homes.
We step in to protect children from neglect and abuse and help those who care for others or are at risk of homelessness. Innovative projects like The Blues Programme give young people the help they need to look after their mental health.
We're also here for parents, through projects like Parent Talk, our online support service.
Where your money goes
Your donations help us to support vulnerable children, young people and their families in the UK.
85p of every £1* we spend goes directly towards helping children, young people and their families. We make sure that every penny you donate goes where it will have the greatest impact on children’s lives. Donations from this campaign will be unrestricted and used by Action for Children for its general charitable purposes. That means they’re not spent on one project or one specific area of the UK, but where the need is greatest.
*Figure based on audited 2022/23 charity accounts that exclude subsidiary companies like commercial nurseries.
