About Us

Let's start with what we're not...

​

We're not web developers (so apologies if the site isn't as polished yet as we'd like it to be - but we're getting better every day!)

 

We are however ​a group of people who have been working in the UK Youth and University travel sector for over 20 years and during that time we have seen just how incredible overseas trips, charity challenges, medical electives and expeditions can be for our young people.​ The one downside of these trips is usually the hefty pricetag that most of them come with.

​

Are they worth it?  Absolutely!  The soft skills, the confidence building and the development of every young person that goes on one of these adventures is worth every penny!  We don't like to use the term 'life-changing' loosely...but for many young people, they really are!

​

But here's the thing...over time, we have also seen that the fundraising journey can be as life-changing, inspiring, and as beneficial as actually going on the trip itself.  We also know it is achievable to raise every penny of that target too because we have seen thousands of people raise thousands of pounds!

​

How have they done it?  Well, that's where we come in!

​

We have collated and collected all the tools, resources, ideas, guidance and even templates that we can think of in order to ensure that everyone really can benefit from these experiences - regardless of economic background.

​

That's why we wanted to create this site!

​

So, register if you haven't already, and we hope that you find all the resources you need to make those dream destinations a reality to visit!

​​

Basic membership is completely free so that everyone can access these resources.  The paid membership ensures that we can keep the website continually updated with new content and downloads.  Either one you choose, thank you for doing so!​
