Team GC has always been shaped by hundreds of hands and hearts. Everything we do is fuelled by people coming together for something bigger than themselves - whether on a mountain, in a desert, or in the middle of a local community.

From the very beginning, our expeditions and fundraising efforts have been built on that shared spirit of purpose.

Together, our teams have helped raise over £300,000 for Imagine This, contributed another £45,000 through the Make A Difference Ball, and generated £137,000 for Hampshire charities on our Kilimanjaro expedition.

Alongside these achievements, we continue to champion youth programmes, community wellbeing and global connection - always with humility, respect and open hands.

These milestones were sparked by a simple belief: that ordinary people can create extraordinary impact when they step forward with courage.

That belief has taken Team GC from the summit of Mont Blanc in support of the Teenage Cancer Trust, to the icy slopes of Mount Elbrus for Allegra’s Ambition, to the peak of Kilimanjaro with a team of 20 remarkable women representing Hampshire causes. Every ascent - whether led by Shadi or by the groups who followed - has been rooted in the same principle: impact is a collective climb.

Because at Team GC, adventure is never just about reaching a summit.
It’s about who we become on the journey
and who we lift up along the way.
