A WILTSHIRE woman is scaling Africa's highest mountain to raise funds for homeless people.

Lady Venetia Fuller, 33, who lives near Corsham, will climb 5,895m up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania just three months after giving birth to her second child.

Lady Venetia will be part of a team of seven on the five-day trek in September aiming to raise at least £9,000 for Bath charity Julian House.

Businesses in Wiltshire are being offered the opportunity to have their logo flown from the top of Kilimanjaro in return for a donation.

Lady Venetia said: "We were looking for a way in which to motivate businesses to support Julian House and thought the idea of climbing a mountain would appeal since it has many parallels with the business world."

Businesses looking to support the project should call Lady Venetia on (01225) 810279 or Cecil Weir at Julian House on (01225) 354652.
