CWU member to embark on charitable climb

CWU member Paul Clark will set off to conquer Africa's highest peak next month to help underprivileged young people access higher education.

"It's the challenge of my life," says Paul, who serves the union as branch secretary for North Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.

"We're aiming to scale all 5,895 metres of the mighty Mount Kilimanjaro," he explains, adding that he and a small team of fellow volunteers are raising funds for the Compassion Leadership Development Programme, which works to enable young people to attend university.

"In 2006, thanks to the support of the CWU, I was able to gain a degree in Labour Studies," says Paul.

"This gave me the chance to better myself and I want to help others to have similar chances.

"By sponsoring our Kilimanjaro Challenge, you will help provide funding and support for these young people from underprivileged backgrounds to give them the opportunity of higher education.
