Passion
Our aim is to show young people how to make better choices in life and how to lead more healthier, fruitful and productive lives. We achieve this through physical fitness, adventurous training and hiking expeditions in the UK and abroad. The trips we lead are to some of the most beautiful parts of the UK such as Snowdonia, Lake district and The Brecon Beacons. We also lead regular pilgrimage expeditions in Northern Spain on the Camino De Santiago.
Trust
Trust is one of the foundational building blocks. We need trust to establish and deepen our friendships. Trust allows us to feel safe with friends: safe to make plans and safe to share ourselves and our lives. Read more
Connection
Connecting with others is one of the most highly valued and rewarding parts of life. Close friends improve our outlook on life and our general well-being, making any unpleasant experience much easier to bear. The connections we form with our friends offer a reliable support that nothing else quite matches. Read more

Friends can also: increase your sense of belonging and purpose, improve your self-confidence and self-worth, help you cope with traumas, such as, serious illness, job loss or the death of a loved one Read more
Community
Evidence has shown us how community-based interventions can support young people's social and emotional wellbeing. Due to a scarcity of robust evaluation and reporting taking place across the sector, we selected a wide-range of systematic reviews, relevant individual studies and case studies from UK-based organisations.
