The Himalayan Trust UK was set up to support Sir Edmund Hillary's work for the Sherpas in Nepal in 1990. As a result of Sir Edmund Hillary's work there are over 300 schools, hospitals and health clinics supported by the UK and the Trust's sister organisations. Over 2 million trees have been planted. In the UK they have given particular focus to educational projects both in the Everest region and over the last 6 years in the foothills of Kanchenjunga.

They are now looking for two or three new trustees to help guide their work over the next decade. In particular they are looking for people who have some experience in modern marketing, law, and medical backgrounds.
