About Us
You may think we’re pretty new to the scene, but we’ve actually been working with a number of RAGs and Student Union’s for the last 4 years. This year we want to take Challenges Abroad to the next level and work closely with RAGs, SUs and students to recruit volunteers and raise funds for our charity, the FutureSense Foundation. We are now working closely with some of the UK’s biggest RAG societies, offering students unique opportunities to spend a month of their summer volunteering and making a difference in a range of under-developed countries. Combine that with some amazing travel experiences and challenging treks and we think we have a winning formula!
Working with universities & societies
Through the FutureSense Foundation, we want to be able to offer students an opportunity to make a real difference while seeing the world and having fun. Because our main objective is to raise money for our charity, we can offer affordable participation fees and achievable fundraising targets. The main focus of our challenges is the volunteering, giving students a great cause to promote during their fundraising.
Our challenges are open to all but we are very keen on working with universities, and particularly RAGs, Student Unions and other student fundraising organisations. In partnership with you we can get the message out to students that charity work can be adventurous as well as rewarding!
We know we are only here today thanks to the help of you guys so we are always keen to help you develop and reach your full potential. Through working with Challenges Abroad and the FutureSense Foundation we can help you:
- Reach your fundraising targets
- Increase awareness of your society and even your university
- Increase levels of participation from your university
- Increase your employability
- Offer grants to your society for every sign up
- Give you the chance to join our expeditions
- Offer you internships and the opportunity to work with us
