Help Fund Our First Pilot Expedition
We’re raising funds to run our first pilot mountain expedition for men who need space, challenge, and connection.
Where the Funds Go
Every contribution matters. Smaller donations help cover core costs, while larger contributions support funded places and overall expedition delivery.
This first trip allows us to test the model, learn what works, and plan future expeditions responsibly.
Any contribution helps move the pilot expedition closer to being delivered
£250 helps cover professional guiding and on-mountain safety
£500 contributes to accommodation, food, and expedition logistics
£1,000 supports a fully funded place on the pilot expedition
Why We’re Doing This and What Your Support Enables
The mountains remove everyday distractions in a way few environments can. Away from routines, screens, and status, people are left with effort, awareness, and focus.
We’ve seen how time in this kind of setting helps people reset, build resilience, and gain perspective. The Mountain Path Project exists to make access to these experiences possible through well-planned, carefully managed expeditions.
We’re currently in the pilot phase. This first expedition will allow us to test the model, learn what works, and build a responsible foundation for future trips. It’s a small, founder-led project, and we’re taking a deliberate, practical approach as we grow.
What Your Support Funds
Funds raised will cover professional guiding, accommodation, travel, insurance, food, permits, and safety equipment for our first pilot expedition.
Every contribution goes directly toward running our first carefully planned mountain expedition and learning how to scale this responsibly.
What Happens After We’re Funded
Once the expedition is fully funded, applications will open.
Places will be allocated based on readiness, commitment, and alignment with the aims of the project.
Our Guiding Principles
These guiding principles are the backbone of our identity and decisions. They shape our culture, and strategy for The Mountain Path Project
1. Authentic Connection
We create honest, judgment-free spaces where men can drop the mask, speak side by side, and build real connection through shared experience, silence, and presence.
2. Challenge & Growth
We believe that movement through nature especially the mountains challenges the body, clears the mind, and reconnects men with a deeper sense of purpose, strength, and aliveness.
3. Empowerment Over Fixing
Men don't need fixing. we walk beside them, offering challenge, structure, and support while trusting each man to find meaning and momentum on his own path.
The challenge!?
Men are struggling in ways previous generations never experienced. They're lonelier than ever, finding it difficult to form meaningful relationships and drifting through life without clear direction or purpose. The traditional frameworks that once gave men a sense of identity and belonging have largely disappeared, leaving many feeling lost and disconnected. This isn't just an individual problem; it's affecting families and communities everywhere, with men increasingly suffering in silence. This crisis manifests in four key areas that are undermining men's well-being.
ISOLATION & DISCONNECTION
Men are experiencing epidemic levels of loneliness and struggling to form meaningful connections
IDENTITY CRISIS
Men don't know who they're supposed to be anymore
Decline in Resilience
The conveniences of modern life have led many men to face fewer physical and mental challenges, which can impact resilience over time
PURPOSELESSNESS & MEANINGLESSNESS
Men have lost connection to higher purpose and service
