"We arrived in high temperatures, it was like walking in a furnace but we forced ourselves up the mountainside, driven on by the families this money would help, and we made it completing the challenge. "Many of the team were emotional at the end, elated, sharing this elation, and joy with family members who had turned up to support them." #FamilyFriday #Welsh3Peaks http://bit.ly/2s3g9qs

Snowdogs: Tails in Wales is just three months away and we can feel the excitement building. More than 40 schools, community groups and education and training providers participating in our Learning Programme have now met their Snowpups so they can get down to the important business of coming up with unique designs and names for their pups. Watch this week’s #FamilyFriday video and see how the children at programme sponsors, Acorns Nurseries, react when they met their pup for the first time https://goo.gl/CVseJ4
