Today's guest, Matt Cooper, owns a well-known adventure education business based in North Wales called The Mountaineering Company, but you may be surprised to learn that he and Kenton don't spend much time talking about that at all!
Instead, Matt tells Kenton about the work he has been doing for the charity, Ukrainian Action. The charity raises funds for vehicles and humanitarian aid to support the Ukrainian civilians who are impacted by the ongoing conflict. Matt volunteered to drive one of the donated vehicles to Ukraine recently and he chose to spend some time in the country at the same time. His stories bring the difficulties of living in a conflict zone into reality and are humbling to hear.
Matt also touches on his work with Ogwen Mountain Rescue Team in North Wales and his love of the mountains. Matt is the epitome of giving back and we hope you enjoy the episode.
