CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP PR
BECOME A PATRON AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
We have various opportunities for your company to get involved and support our Youth Adventure Grant and we offer some great PR. We would love Patrons to sign up for a minimum of 2 years as this means we can run the grant on an annual basis. Each year we’re hoping to undertake a new adventure to raise funds, and will get in touch with details at that point. If that commitment isn’t right for your company at the moment we also offer a one-off sponsorship option. Options are listed below, simply select the one that is right for you! If you don’t see the right fit, or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

THIS YEAR’S CHALLENGE: A FASTPACKING EXPEDITION
TO THE HAJAR MOUNTAINS OF OMAN
We are currently fundraising for the grant with a fastpacking expedition to the Hajar Mountains of Oman later this year, hoping to be the first all female team to fastpack a traverse of the Western Hajar.
All funds raised go directly into the Grant crowdfunder pot (minus Justgiving’s fees), to be awarded to grant winners.
Full details of grant winners, grant amounts and the expeditions the winners undertake will be published on the website.
WHY OFFER A GRANT?
We’re facing an unprecedented mental health crisis. There is a growing body of evidence which suggests that adventure and challenge are essential to our wellbeing. In westernised society in particular, the adventurous elements once commonplace in our children’s upbringing have been gradually stripped away by health and safety measures in schools and wider society, the drifting apart of larger, close-knit family groups and communities (which would once have collectively kept an eye on the children, giving them more freedom to explore within safe boundaries), and the risk-averse approach to parenting, often born of fears exaggerated by the constant bombardment, through our ‘always-on’ technology, of negative media stories.
This is an imbalance which urgently needs to be addressed. We’re advocates of the #adventurerevolution. By giving young people the opportunity to challenge themselves, adventure can lead them to uncover new perspectives, develop stronger social connections, lessen anxiety, increase self-belief, and access deeper levels of resilience.
