My Story

Beth and I are climbing Ben Nevis together to raise awareness and money for The Makaton Charity so that more children and adults can benefit from The Makaton Language Programme.  Makaton uses speech, signs and symbols to support communication and is a vital means of communication for thousands of children and adults across the UK.  

We are excited to take on this challenge together as we're passionate about communication and protecting the rights of all children and adults to understand and have a voice.  

Turns out our Grandad (William Smillie) was once one of the highest paid workers in the UK (😉)  when he helped build the path to the summit of Ben Nevis so it will be extra exciting walking in his footsteps for the first time.
