We are excited to announce a new partnership with the Transglobe Expedition Trust (TET) through a recently signed memorandum of understanding. This collaboration will enable us to use the remaining TET funds to provide grants for expeditionary projects that align with the Trust's legacy of supporting humanitarian, scientific, and educational endeavors.
To celebrate this milestone, join us on Wednesday 23 October, for a day of special events, including the official launch of the Ran and Ginny Fiennes grant. These events will honour the extraordinary achievements of the Transglobe Expedition and help raise funds to ensure that future explorers can continue to make a meaningful impact through their work.
