Nepal Flood Relief Appeal: Over £10,000 raised, funding Himalayan Trust Nepal Emergency Flood Relief Projects

As the Nepal-Tibet flood relief needs become clearer, we have sent £10,000 to the Himalayan Trust Nepal for their flood relief programme, developed in consultation with the District Disaster Management Committee.

We have asked that, if possible, our contribution is directed towards rebuilding a school for Rasuwa District and to support any other local projects that are urgently needed that other organisations have not funded.

If you’d like to donate to our Nepal Flood Disaster Appeal, you can do so via our JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/charity/lighteducationdevelopment

LED Fundraising Walk & Dinner 2026: Over £3,500 raised

Big big thanks to everyone who came to this year’s LED Fundraising Walk and Dinner in Thirlmere and to those who supported folks on their walks.

We had a very wet start to our walk up High Rigg but returned in the dry and in good spirits to tuck into tea and cake.

A lovely sociable evening featured curries and crumble, the raffle and bar and lots of catching up.

The event has raised over £3,500 so far for LED projects in Peru and Nepal.

Thank you to everyone who contributed donations, curries and cake.

Donations are always welcome: https://www.justgiving.com/charity/lighteducationdevelopment

Here are some photos from this year’s walk and dinner:

Nepal Floods

Hello everyone,

I’m sure you are horrified by the unfolding tragedy in Nepal. If you were thinking of contributing to one of the disaster relief organisations, you might like to consider donating via LED. We can send the donations directly to organisations we know and trust, such as Partners for Nepal and the Himalayan Trust, so we know how the money will be used.

If you do decide to contribute in this way, either directly or via JustGiving, let me / LED know so the money can be ring fenced.

Many thanks
Val

LED’s Annual Fundraiser – Saturday 12 September 2026 – Registration Now Open

If you would like to come to this year’s Annual Fundraiser event in September at Thirlmere Recreation Hall in the Lake District, please complete this online registration form.

There will be updates and more information as we move through the year but the plan is to meet at The Hall at 08:30 – 08:45 (precise time to be confirmed closer to the date) on the morning of the 12th September and do a walk in the area depending on weather, fitness levels, and so on. As always, several options will be available.

This will be followed by tea, coffee and cake on our return, and then an evening of food and relaxation and fun all in the name of raising money to make a difference to the rural and remote mountain communities in Nepal and Peru that many of us have visited, are visiting, or would love to visit. 

If you would like to come to the walk and the dinner (or just the walk; or just the dinner) please fill out the form and click the submit button at the end.

Payment information is included within the form but if you would like to make a donation or do some additional fundraising then this would be very welcome indeed, in which case then please feel free to go to our JustGiving page or to set up your own JustGiving page and choose to support Light Education Development.

We very much look forward to seeing you in September.
