Recently we have developed links with local businesses who offer us wall space to show some pictures from which we receive a commission. We are currently showing in: Paisley Arts Centre, Gordon Matthew BDS, Neilston Road, Paisley, Perhaps your business could offer us space.

There are two ways in which you can support us through participating in an Overseas Challenge event. The first is to join us in one of our own organised trips. In previous years we have taken parties to Everest Base Camp, Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China and the Gobi Desert and we are now planning our next trip to Longbok in Indonesia which will take place in October 2011. The second way is to join an open trip which is made of of people fundraising for different charities. The advantage of this is that there is a huge range of choice available to you on an ongoing basis so we could probably meet all requests with regards to location. Please contact us if you would like to find out more.
