Neil Muir Takes on the Mount Toubkal Challenge

We’re excited to share some uplifting news from within our community. On May 19th, Neil Muir our CEO will be lacing up his boots and joining Cardiff YMCA for the Mount Toubkal Hiking Challenge - a demanding trek to the summit of North Africa’s highest peak.

This challenge isn’t just about reaching the top of a mountain. It’s about lifting up young people here at home.

Why This Challenge Matters

Our group fundraising target is £10,000, and every contribution brings us closer to sustaining a service that means so much to so many. The funds raised will directly support Cardiff YMCA’s Open Access youth club, a vital space where young people can find safety, encouragement, and trusted adults who genuinely care.

For many, this youth club is more than a place to go - it’s a lifeline. It’s where friendships are built, confidence grows, and support is always within reach.

Supporting Our Local Community

Reaching our fundraising goal will help Cardiff YMCA keep the doors open to the young people who need support the most. Neil’s involvement is a powerful reminder of how stepping up and taking action can make a real difference. His commitment helps ensure that young people in Cardiff continue to have a place where they feel safe, supported, and valued.

A Leader Stepping Up

As Neil prepares for the climb ahead, we invite you to join us, whether by spreading the word, offering encouragement, or contributing to the fundraising effort. Together, we can help secure the future of a service that truly changes lives.

Let’s rally behind Neil and the entire team as they take on this incredible challenge for an even more incredible cause.
