Join an Operation Reach life-defining expedition
How are the expeditions funded?
The remainder of the cost of the expedition is funded by Operation Reach. It is important that Reachers financially contribute to their experience. This ensures Reachers are fully invested, and develop vital skills whilst fundraising. Operation Reach provides support to Reachers as to how to fundraise.
Reachers are required to make a contribution of £300, paid either in a lump sum or three, equal instalments.
We provide a unique opportunity for young people to gain life experience, propelling them forward at a critical stage in their development.
