Charities
The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity dedicated to unlocking the potential in young people through discovery and adventure in the wild. Through the generosity of our dedicated supporters, we change the lives of thousands of disadvantaged young people every year. Changing Lives - It Starts With You
RMCTF is a charity with very wide purposes run by Royal Marines for serving and retired Royal Marines. Current effort is focused on the particular needs of our wounded and injured, especially those who are transitioning to life outside the Corps. Our challenge is to raise £6M by the Royal Marines' 350th birthday in 2014 in order to support all our beneficiaries in the longer term. At the same time we need to sustain the current rate of expenditure in support of our wounded and injured, those returning from repeated tours in high threat environments as well as those who have transitioned back to civilian life in the normal course of their duties or as a result of their injuries.

The Descent of The Shard fundraising page
I am delighted to be leading the Descent of the Shard. I am also very proud, as the Chairman of The Outward Bound Trust, of the work the Trust undertakes with young people to give them challenge through adventure. The Royal Marines are also close to my heart as a part of the Royal Navy and whilst the work they do in support of our nation is beyond any question; I am delighted to be joining with The Royal Marines and their Charitable Trust Fund to be able to raise not only awareness for the two Charitable organisations we are Descending the Shard for but also in raising the necessary money and support for both organisations to be able to continue our vital work.
