Eighty pence of every pound donated goes directly to delivering our programmes - supporting our outreach and field teams, buying food and equipment, and keeping our mobile vehicles on the road.

The other twenty pence is invested to make sure we're able to continue supporting those in need long into the future. For example, we need raise money to keep our programmes running, pay finance and admin posts to support our programme delivery staff, and invest in training and qualifications to keep our teams' skills up to date.

We operate as efficiently and effectively as possible: Not a penny is wasted.

£53 pays for the kit needed to stay safe and warm on expedition

Wilderness expeditions give participants the chance to develop skills such as problem solving, consequential thinking and relationship building. £53 covers the cost of all the kit used on this life-changing course, including walking boots, waterproofs, and sleeping bag.

£45 connects participants with a friendly face

Young people in care are expected to become fully independent at the age of 16, without the support or advice most young people can rely on. £45 buys four hours of one-to-one care with a trusted outreach worker.

£39 brings help closer to home

Our unique mobile units allow us to reach the most disengaged men and women in their own communities, then take them out into the wilderness with a fully equipped 'base camp'. £39 fuels our mobile units, keeping us on the road for 100 miles.

£16 supports the development of a skill for life

In the wilderness, participants learn to cook for themselves. This vital skill helps participants to become more self-sufficient, and teaches the importance of nutrition, time management and organisation in everyday life. £16 allows us to provide a participant with food for a weekend during one of our programmes, and helps them on the road to independence.
