A GROUP of Whitchurch youngsters have climbed the height of Snowdon using stairs in their home to raise funds for Ukrainian refugees.

Harrison along with his friends Benji, Gregory, William, Emily and Lewis all took on the exciting challenge using stairs to complete a massive 1085 metres.

Meanwhile Harrison's dad, Simon climbed the real Snowdon peak, which is what inspired the youngsters to take on their own challenge.

Depending on the height of their stairs this meant they would have gone up and down 380-440 times to complete the challenge.

The challenge took place weekend last weekend on March 12 and 13

To date (16th March) they have raised almost £1,500 for British-Ukrainian Aid through kind donations, which can be found on their Just Giving sponsor page.

They are among the many residents across Andover who have been coming together to raise funds to help those who need it most in Ukraine.
