13/09/24 - Postponed until 02/05/25 - Chiel team are taking on the 3 peaks Challenge....So, on Friday 13th September, they will be starting by ascending Ben Nevis, in the early hours of the morning, before jumping straight in the van, the moment we finish the descent - & driving onto Scafell Pike & climbing that. Then, having no energy left AT ALL - having climbed Ben Nevis & Scafell Pike on the same day - it's back to the van to drive to wet Wales & finish the 24 hours by climbing Snowdon! No mean task in a 24-hour window! Completion photos to follow.

22/11/24 - Charity Ball -We are thrilled to share that our Charity Ball was a resounding success! The evening commenced with warm welcome speeches, including a heartfelt address from one of the charity’s Trustees, setting the tone for an unforgettable night.
​
Guests enjoyed a delicious three-course meal, followed by a fantastic live band performance that kept the energy high throughout the event. The fun didn’t stop there – post-dinner entertainment included an exciting game of Heads or Tails and a much-anticipated raffle, adding an extra layer of excitement to the evening.
Thanks to the generosity of our attendees, we raised over £3,000 for the charity, a truly amazing achievement.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and supported the event. Your contributions make a real difference, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

Archie's Smile
🟠🩶 We’re delighted to announce that our chosen charity to support in 2026 is Archie’s Smile.
Archie’s Smile is a wonderful organisation that offers support and fosters an inclusive community for children with Down syndrome and their families.
The charity was founded by Coleen Twigger and her daughter in 2015, inspired by the birth of Coleen’s grandson, Archie.
The Chiel team is already busy brainstorming creative ways to raise funds and awareness for this fantastic cause!

Story Behind the Charity -
When Archie was born we had a million things running through our heads. Is he healthy? Will he ever communicate? Will he have friends? Will he be accepted? We’d be lying if some of those things didn’t cross our minds now, but if we only knew back then what we now know we wouldn’t have worried half as much.
Archie is a happy little boy and is currently very healthy and achieving all of his developmental milestones. We believe this is down to the love and support Archie and our family have received from various friends and close family members, as well as through giving him the opportunity to learn new skills and meet numerous other children with and without disabilities. Children with Downs will achieve their milestones but sometimes need extra support. Having a child with Down syndrome is an amazing journey that we never thought we would take. At times it is tough, but support can make it easier, and it helps to have such a gorgeous tour guide along the way!
