Major gifts

Major gifts transform what we can offer young people, funding essential equipment and tools to keep our activities running at their best. They help us to deliver a gold standard of inspirational outdoor learning and leisure opportunities, inspiring thousands of young people every year to discover, grow and achieve more than they thought possible.

Our commitment to you

As a philanthropist, you’ll be joining a group of like-minded individuals investing in young people’s futures. You’ll receive regular updates from your dedicated philanthropic advisor, as well opportunities to see our work in action, invitations to special events and access to our senior team.  

Last year we helped over 10,000 young people connect with nature and enjoy sport

For many young people, trips away from home have become increasingly limited, as well as access to nature for those from urban areas. Last year 55% of young people from our member organisations said it was their first trip away from home, or since the pandemic. And 86% of all visitors said that being in nature made a positive difference to their wellbeing. We know from our research that sport such as swimming, football and cycling positively impact young people’s physical and mental wellbeing.
