Taking place between the 19th-29th September 2025, the trip promises to be an ‘incredible journey’ as participants will take on the Lemosho route from the base to the summit in order to raise funds to support mental health awareness within hospitality.

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.

With a target of £30,000, all funds raised from the Kilimanjaro climb will go towards Burnt Chef E-learning Academy, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), free resources and 27/4 support services, ambassador scheme and marketing overheads.

Kris Hall, founder of The Burnt Chef Project, said: “We’re thrilled to officially launch ‘Climb Kilimanjaro with The Burnt Chef Project’ as this year’s fundraiser. It’s 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 make a real difference in hospitality by providing funds to support the continued work of The Burnt Chef Project across the hospitality industry.”

Participants will have the option to be fully self-funded or part-funded, both with a deposit of £800+VAT in order to secure a place and are recommended to raise a minimum of £1,500. For more information, visit here.
