Trek to Everest Camp - We did it!

French film-producer, Nadja Romain and British artist, Jenny Saville, two of our most dedicated supporters, invited 22 internationally acclaimed artists to donate a work to benefit the women on our programmes, which were auctioned off during Frieze Art Fair as part of Christie’s Post War and Contemporary Day Sale and collectively raised £664,000!
