Residential training followed by practice and qualifying expeditions.
For schools and other groups outside the Yorkshire area we can offer the entire expedition in two chunks. We carry out the training on a residential in the Yorkshire Dales and immediately follow it on with the practice expedition. We then carry out the qualifying expedition at a later date after participants have had time to recover and reflect on their practice expedition. Please note that these figures are a guide only.

Supervision of groups that you have trained.
After training a group yourselves we can provide qualified Mountain Leaders experienced in remote supervision to run and assess the expeditions. This costs £180 per member of staff per day. Please note we may have to charge an additional travel fee to cover costs of getting our staff to and from the location of the expedition.
Funding opportunities.
There are a number of pots of money out there that can be accessed to enable young people to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. If your budget will not stretch to the fees required we can supply you with information as to where you may get the funding.
To start with you can try looking here
If you think that you may have students who would benefit from achieving The Award but neither your organisation or the students can afford it then get in touch soon so we can investigate other more specific funding pools.
As an organisation we tick quite a few boxes that funders like. It may help to point out that the organisation that you are hiring to carry out the activity is a not-for-profit social enterprise. We will happily help you filling out such applications.
