Obviously, we take pride in giving something back, but not because we’re trying to make people think we’re worthy and impressive, but because we just think it’s the right thing to do. So we’ve decided to run with the section to tell you a little more about the incredible work of the charities we support, and in hope that everyone who hears about that work will feel motivated to do their bit too. What we did in 2014 In the last year, we’ve donated over £71k in cash and gift vouchers to good causes. We handed a cheque for over £60,000 to Teenage Cancer Trust at the end of last year, thanks to adventures and fundraising completed throughout the last year. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for young people with cancer aged 13 to 24. Teenage Cancer Trust funds and builds specialist units in NHS hospitals and provides dedicated staff, bringing young people together so they can be treated by teenage cancer experts in the best place for them. Teenage Cancer Trust also educates young people in schools about cancer to help improve the speed and quality of diagnosis. Teenage Cancer Trust relies on donations to fund its vital work. Help transform the lives of young people with cancer. Visit www.teenagecancertrust.org Siobhan Dunn, Chief Executive of Teenage Cancer Trust said: “On behalf of every young person with cancer that we support in the UK, I want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for choosing to support Teenage Cancer Trust. We’re not a large charity and rely on donations, so without Go Ape’s help we would struggle to provide the dedicated, specialist care and support we give to young people with cancer. We’re really looking forward to the adventure this partnership takes us and our young people on!” We also supported the Global Canopy Programme as we look to minimise the environmental impact of Go Ape. They put together the forest educational boards dotted around our sites, and we provided them with a donation of £5k a year to help fund their work in forest canopy research, education and conservation. Who we’re supporting in 2015, and how? Outward Bound Trust The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity that uses the outdoors to help develop young people from all walks of life. Jubilee Sailing Trust We’re always looking for ways to make our courses more accessible, and we love the JST because it brings able-bodied and disabled people together on tallship voyages. We supply an annual bursary of £5k that helps the financially disadvantaged take part, and send our staff to make up the numbers when the ships are short on crew. Charitable Gift Vouchers In 2015 we’re going to repeat last year’s pledge of giving away £35,000 worth of Go Ape gift vouchers that can be used in fundraising auctions, local charities and raffles.
