A father and daughter have climbed Snowdon to raise money for a north Powys drama group for adults with learning disabilities.
Martin and Lilly-Mae Morgan, from Llanerfyl, near Llanfair Caereinion, reached the summit of Snowdon on Saturday, September 12, raising £320 for Masquerade.
Masquerade is Arts Connection–Cyswllt Celf’s drama and arts group for adults with learning disabilities and is based in Llanfyllin.
Despite mist, rain, and challenging conditions, the pair completed the climb with the support of carers Tom Handley and Zara Webb.
A spokesperson for Arts Connection said: "This challenge was about much more than fundraising.

"For Martin, it was the fulfilment of a promise he made to himself after seizures caused by Functional Neurological Disorder brought his active lifestyle to an unexpected halt. Taking on Snowdon was a powerful personal milestone."
The Masquerade group offers drama and arts opportunities for adults with learning disabilities.
Sessions take place on Tuesdays from 6.30pm to 8.30pm at the Youth and Community Centre in Llanfyllin.
Upcoming dates include October 6 and 20, November 3, 17, and 24, and December 1.
Arts Connection–Cyswllt Celf has thanked Martin and Lilly-Mae for their achievement and fundraising efforts.
