The Burnt Chef Project has announced its tallest fundraising challenge yet: a climb of Africa’s highest peak, Kilimanjaro. Taking place between 19th and 29th September 2025, the trip promises to be an incredible journey as participants will take on the infamous Lemosho route from the base to the summit in order with a target to raise £30,000.
Guided by mountaineering experts to conquer one of the world’s Seven Summits, those who take on the challenge can expect a truly life changing experience – not just for themselves, but for their peers who will be able to access crucial mental health support services thanks to their efforts. This extraordinary challenge pushes the boundaries of resilience, teamwork and community support with likeminded individuals, incorporating key values that are championed by The Burnt Chef Project every day.
'An incredible challenge'
Kris Hall, founder of The Burnt Chef Project, said: “This is an incredible challenge – one that will take endless resilience and teamwork to complete. It offers those who are passionate about making a difference in an industry where the stigma of mental health awareness needs to end a once in a lifetime experience to not only see one of the most incredible mountains in the world; but most importantly to make a real difference in hospitality by providing funds to support the continued work of The Burnt Chef Project.”
