Story

Victoria Paterson and Dave Bailey teach at the University of Glasgow and help run student expeditions

These expeditions are an amazing experience and the students do great work for conservation and communities, from the Western Isles to Thailand. Expeditions build teamwork and leadership skills, as well as scientific experience.

While they're cheaper than commercial expeditions, cost is a barrier to participation. We are asking for your support to make it easier for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to take advantage of this opportunity to learn and grow.

Victoria and I are going to abseil off a REALLY TALL BUILDING to help raise money for this, and we'd apreciate your support. And please come and

cheer us on/laugh at us on October 2nd at 1100.

Victoria and Dave
