HIMALAYAN TRUST

Closest to Rebecca’s heart is the Himalayan Trust UK, a charity originally established by Sir Edmund Hillary to help Sherpas help themselves.  It’s pay back time for Rebecca.  She knows she couldn’t have climbed Everest without the Sherpas and wants to help where she can.  Rebecca has been a trustee since 1995.  She chaired The Himalayan Trust for three years from 2011 to 2014, and now continues her role as trustee.
