The Trust is conscious that the pandemic has not defeated the spirit of adventure in young people and we remain โopenโ to support activities. We would love to hear from anyone planning an activity in the UK and suggest you email us for further information. Check out our website.
Getting itch feet? We have delayed our application process this year ๐ทbut we are hoping to award grants before the end of summer term. Watch this space and the website for updates.
Enormous thanks to Vanessa Folkerts for her terrific talk at this year's KRET fundraising lecture. Vanessa's resilience shone through in a highly inspirational talk. A particularly apt message during these challenging times: keep plodding on! https://t.co/3JiEEa2oKA
