I will have been CEO of British Exploring Society for 9 of its 93 years when I set out to cross Knoydart as part of the second mini expedition put together by our brilliant Development board. We’ll be crossing the highest mountain on the peninsula, in Scotland’s last true wilderness. Please will you help me raise at least £5000 to be worthy of my place on the team?

Why give us money? I’ve seen a crisis in anxiety, low confidence levels and low resilience rise like a tide around young people. Wild places work magic for young people, given time, the right pathways, and great leadership. So, British Exploring Society is as committed as ever to the value of extended expeditions in wild places - and we’re the last UK wide charity to be doing this work. Which is why we’re also willing to disrupt what we do and to change our approach to ensure we’re helping young people to access the outdoors and experience that transformation. Please help us to keep innovating, building on our heritage - so that more young people Find Their Fire and unlock their self-belief. Young people say it best for themselves; https://youtu.be/3kdIyf_QLtQ?si=WVlymEmUr1zlBAlD
