Charity
Raleigh is a well established youth and education charity originally formed in 1984. Over 30,000 young people have taken transformational journeys on Raleigh expeditions with tangible proven outcomes. Our particular expertise is in creating a supportive but challenging environment in which young people can learn to work together in teams from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures. Our young people have made a substantial contribution to the improvement of basic services such as water, sanitation and education in marginalised communities across the world. At a time of unprecedented challenge for youth in the UK we want to ensure that young people have the choice to take responsibility for their own lives and achieve their potential, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. With your support you will help us to make a positive impact on the lives of these young people, to give them skills and confidence and to raise their aspirations so that they can make a positive change in society.

Joe Arthurs' huuuuuuge cycle ride page!
Hello!
I am about to undertake a challenge that no man has ever done before. I will be changing how we see the world, altering your perception of how you see the very fabric of reality...
Well, not really, but I am going to cycle really really far for charity and I would love for all you good people who have made it this far to sponsor me!
Well, that was then, and this is now. Seems a long time ago I wrote that, but I did squeeze in 4000km to get from London to Istanbul so I guess it flew a bit.
As you all know I didn't get quite as far as I had hoped, but I am eternally grateful I made it back in one piece and didn't create an international incident somewhere in the Badlands! I am however frighteningly short on my total of £2000 so if you can find it in your pockets to drop Raleigh a few pennies, then please do on the right here! -------->>>
I'm raising for Raleigh International Trust:
A great charity that supports young people from all backgrounds to see to the construction of hundreds of education facilities, bridges and water systems commissioned, health and community centres built together with the health screening of tens of thousands of people in Borneo, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and India. They work closely with local authority youth services and agencies across the UK, including Fairbridge, Groundwork, and Foyer Federation.
Thankyou for all your support. And please apply Gift Aid if you can! This makes your donation worth a third more at no extra cost to you.
Your Seoul brother,
Joe
