2. Our Mission: “To unlock the potential of young people through discovery and adventure in the wild.”
Educational Charity:
Educational bit is that we are advised by a panel of senior teachers so everything we do is linked back to the National Curriculum.
Charitable bit is that we are supported by a group of donors who believe in the value of our work and financially support us to continue the work we do with young people.
Work with schools and colleges, individuals and corporates, including graduate and apprentices.
