EVEREST LEGEND KENTON COOL AND LOCAL YOUTH AMBASSADOR TO HEADLINE YOUTH ADVENTURE TRUST’S ADVENTURE DINNER

• World-record mountaineer Kenton Cool to deliver high-impact leadership keynotes to regional business leaders at De Vere Cotswold Water Park.
• First-hand testimony from a supported young person will demonstrate the real-world impact of business investment in the local community.
• Local companies urged to secure final remaining tables to network, celebrate staff achievements, and support the next generation.

The Youth Adventure Trust has announced that world-record mountaineer Kenton Cool will headline its annual Adventure Dinner on Friday 13th November 2026 alongside an inspiring young speaker supported by the charity.

Taking place at the De Vere Cotswold Water Park, the evening offers regional businesses a unique mix of high-level leadership insights and powerful local social impact.

Having summited Mount Everest an astonishing 20 times, Kenton Cool is renowned globally for translating lessons from extreme mountain environments into actionable business strategies. His keynote will focus on overcoming adversity, building resilience and leading under pressure.

Complementing Kenton’s business masterclass, guests will hear directly from a young person who has completed the charity’s outdoor adventure and mentoring programmes. Their story will give attendees a moving, first-hand account of how the charity helps vulnerable 11 to 15-year-olds build resilience, develop self-belief and learn life skills to face challenges in their everyday lives.

With leading regional businesses already confirmed, the Adventure Dinner delivers key corporate benefits:

• Leadership & Business Resilience: Actionable lessons on driving high performance and navigating uncertainty.
• Direct CSR & Local Impact: Hear exactly how corporate support changes lives for young people across Wiltshire, Swindon and Somerset.
• Team Celebration & Networking: An engaging night out to reward staff, entertain clients and connect with fellow regional business leaders.

Mark Davey, CEO at the Youth Adventure Trust, commented:

“We are thrilled to bring Kenton Cool and one of our amazing young ambassadors together on stage. While Kenton brings world-class perspectives on leadership and resilience, our young speaker provides the true heart of the evening - showing local businesses the direct, life-changing impact their support creates right here in our community. With fantastic companies already joining us in the room, it’s set to be an unmissable night. We have just a handful of tables remaining, so we encourage businesses to reserve their spot quickly.”
