Intrepid and Hays Travel team up for charity mountain climb

Staff from Intrepid and Hays Travel will climb north Africa’s highest mountain to raise money for charity.

The two companies will team up for their first charitable endeavour in September as 16 members of staff climb Mount Toubkal with the aim of raising £5,000.

The money will be split evenly between the Hays Travel Foundation, which helps young people from disadvantaged background reach their potential, and The Intrepid Foundation, which works to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable individuals and communities through sustainable travel experiences.
