This is an amazing chance to explore a beautiful country and its many wonders while raising money to support your local hospice.
St John’s Hospice continued to operate throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, delivering its vital services throughout the communities all while not being about to operate fundraising operations as usual. Since then the hospice has continued to adapt to a very different fundraising landscape while continuing to offer outstanding care. This trek is a wonderful opportunity to challenge yourself and help keep your hospice caring!
Your hospice needs you to take up this challenge to ensure that we can continue to be there when people need us most. Like the trek, fundraising is a team effort and the St John’s Hospice fundraising team will help you every step of the way in helping secure your funds.
You can read about our last overseas trek to Cambodia from 2022 on our trekkers blog here.
If you think you are up for this challenge you can sign up today. If you have any questions please get in touch, our fundraising team will be happy to help.

Paddy fields, tapioca crops and wild lemon grass […]
Today is a full moon in Cambodia and it is auspicious to be blessed by a Buddhist monk at this time. Before we set off this morning, we were honoured to take part in a blessing to wish us well on our journey. A very special ceremony that moved everyone. Then the day began! We […]
We started the day with a warm up session with our very own Dr Phil. We definitely needed it after yesterday’s hot walk – there are lots of aches and pains now. The we headed up Kulen (lychee) Mountain – straight up! And it was a long, hot climb with some scrambling and paddling to […]
We Finally saw our camp in the light. This was the most “wild” place we stayed. Next to a fast flowing river, literally, in the middle of nowhere. After a walk into a nearby village we removed our shoes, covered our knees and shoulders and climbed high above the canopy of the trees to visit […]
