Ceinwen's
Story
In April
1996 Ceinwen was killed when she had a 300m
fall whilst ski-touring in France. She was a
keen skier and climber who was well aware of
the risks inherent in being in the mountains.
She often used the services of a qualified
Mountain Guide when venturing into the hills.
Following
her death her family and friends set up the
Ceinwen Faulkner Memorial Trust to promote
safety in the mountains so that many people
could get the kind of enjoyment from being in
the mountains that Ceinwen did.

What
We Do
The aim
of the Trust is to provide financial assistance
to promote the safe enjoyment of the mountain
environment. We are fully reliant on voluntary
contributions.
Since
1997 we have been providing funds to the Association
of British Mountain Guides to assist with
the financial burden on young British climbers
and skiers who are training to become fully
certified UIAGM Mountain Guides.
Since
2002 the Trust has been helping to finance a
series of avalanche awareness talks. Henry's
Avalanche Talks are based in Val d'Isere and
every year attract a huge number of recreational
skiers who want to learn more about avalanches.
We are
always keen to look at any other proposals
that may fit our remit.
