About

It is with great sadness to announce that Rick Allen, a member of the board of Partners Relief & Development UK and also a great friend, has died whilst attempting a new route on K2, the world’s second highest mountain. Rick, a world-renowned veteran mountaineer, was caught in an avalanche on the south east face but fortunately his two climbing partners survived. Rick died doing what he loved the most and lived his life with the courage of his convictions. Rick was committed to serving the worlds poorest and most vulnerable communities, and worked as a key member of the leadership of Partners Relief & Development UK for several years, campaigning for free, full lives for children affected by conflict and oppression. We will continue to raise funds here in Rick's memory, and we will continue to update information as we know more. Thank you all for your kind words and generosity. Rick will be smiling.
