Step Up for Shared Parenting – Ben Nevis Challenge Spring 2026

On Saturday 16 May 2026, we are taking on the challenge of the UK’s highest peak because every child has the right to a loving relationship with both parents – even when parents separate. And, we are inviting you to join us!

Our organisation works every day to support parents through one of life’s toughest transitions – ensuring that children don’t lose the people they love most.

The climb is a symbol of the challenge many families face navigating complex court processes, delays, and emotional strain.

We’re stepping up to say: children deserve better. Better support, better systems, and better outcomes.

Key messages:

● No child should feel they’ve lost a parent just because their parents separated.

● Climbing a mountain is hard – but so is navigating family court. We promote the alternatives.

● Together, we can help families find alternative paths – keeping the rights of children at the centre.

Fundraising Target:

£5,200 – £4.00 for every metre scaled – please consider signing up and joining the climb or donating to the team!

Funds raised will support:

● Bolstering our national helpline and growing our local group meetings offer.

● Support training and resources for parents and professionals.

● Increasing advocacy and policy influence to support parents and protect children’s rights after separation.
