We are seeking funding to pay for expedition equipment for our pupils (predominately our deprived/ disadvantaged young people) to use not only during DofE Expeditions, but during some Physical, Skills and Residential sectional activities too. We currently have a small supply of equipment that participants have access to, but with an increase in disadvantaged young people attending our group and our existing kit becoming redundant after constant use, we require a large number of additional items. Equipment items for running DofE sessions can include outdoor equipment (tents, walking boots, sleeping bags, etc.) and expedition food (our journeys can last up to 5 days in duration - food costs are a struggle for many of our participants, particularly the ones who obtain free school meals.

Requested Amount: £1000
