About Us:
Our journey began with a simple belief: every young person deserves the chance to grow, explore, and thrive. At Expeditions for Everyone CIC, our team is made up of passionate educators, outdoor specialists, and community advocates dedicated to empowering young people through the transformative power of outdoor experiences.
We work with children and young people, especially those facing challenges such as Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), being Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET), or living in disadvantaged circumstances. Our mission is to break down barriers, ensuring everyone has access to opportunities that build resilience, confidence, and essential life skills.
Our vision is to create a world where every young person feels capable, included, and inspired. We want to provide meaningful outdoor experiences—from day adventures in nature to structured programs like the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award—that encourage personal growth and foster a sense of belonging.
The money we raise will be used to:
- Cover participation costs for families who can’t afford them.
- Provide essential outdoor gear like waterproofs, tents, and hiking boots.
- Offer tailored support for SEND participants with specialized staff and resources.
- Run engaging outdoor sessions and expeditions that inspire and challenge young people.
By supporting us, you’re not just funding outdoor activities—you’re investing in the mental well-being, self-belief, and future potential of young people in our community. Together, we can give them the tools to thrive.
