“New Beginnings. In Legacy of Trevor Sorbie MBE”

In this profoundly heartfelt episode of BrightIAM, we sit down with Carole Sorbie - wife of the late Trevor Sorbie MBE as she reflects on love, loss, and the climb of a lifetime.

One year after Trevor’s passing, Carole is preparing to summit Kilimanjaro in his memory. Trevor, a world-renowned hairdresser and creative visionary, carried the hidden wounds of childhood bullying throughout his life. Now, Carole climbs not only for him but for every person whose story was never fully told.

This episode explores the power of legacy, grief, and courage. Carole shares how she came to join the Kidscape Kilimanjaro trek, what the journey has meant to her, and how it’s helped her process the pain of losing Trevor. With grace and candour, she opens up about their life together, the impact of bullying on Trevor’s early years, and the healing she’s found in walking this path for him.

Together, we explore:

• How did Carole get involved in this epic adventure?
• What does climbing Kilimanjaro mean to her personally - and to Trevor’s legacy?
• What were Trevor’s experiences of bullying, and how did they shape his life?
• What has the training journey been like – from the countryside treks to emotional milestones?
• What has this climb done for you personally?
• Fundraising goals and events
• What message Carole has for people in a period of change looking at taking on a challenge adventure of a lifetime?
• And finally…the Roof of Africa documentary premiere.

This episode is a tribute to love, resilience, and remembrance. It’s about honouring those we’ve lost by continuing their fight and finding new strength in a community climb to a summit.

Tune in, be moved, and join us in celebrating Trevor’s legacy through Carole’s extraordinary journey.
