HOW DOES A CHARITY GROUP TRIP WORK?

Whether it's a climb to Western Europe’s highest peak or maybe something completely different and unique; we’ll help find and create the perfect adventure for your charity.

STAGE 1

Discovery Stage

We learn about your objectives, the people, the budget, the time frame, the dog’s name... you get the picture! This is the most important stage of the whole process as it dictates the direction we all move in from this point. You don't need to have the solutions, that's our job, just come with your objectives.

STAGE 2

Inspiration Stage

Our operations and creative teams research opportunities and environments that fit the brief. Based on our findings, we then cook up your bespoke adventure options and present them to you for discussion. At this point we either move forwards with the one you like and fine tune it, or we go back to the drawing board.

STAGE 3

Commitment Stage

Once all agreed, you pay the deposit and away we go. Financial terms can be structured according to the adventure and your requirements.

STAGE 4

Pre-Adventure

We walk you through the necessary steps to progress the administrative side of organising a trip. Further, we create assets (Detailed itineraries, kit list, training advice and more) that can be distributed to your clients or your team. Our objective is to make sure you arrive at your trip confident and excited in what's to come.

STAGE 5

Adventure

This is where the magic happens. Your adventure manager will oversee the trip and make sure everything runs smoothly for the duration of the experience. We're here every step of the trip to deliver for you and your objectives.

STAGE 6

Post-Adventure

We debrief and discuss the trip, tie up any loose ends, send across any imagery or videography and reminisce about ‘this time last week’.
