Our Outdoor Partners

The Snowdonia Society, established in 1967, is a member-based registered charity working to protect and enhance the beauty and special qualities of Snowdonia and to promote their enjoyment in the interests of all who live in, work in or visit the area both now and in the future. We work with local communities, organisations, businesses, individuals and volunteers to help look after Snowdonia.

The Juniper Trust is a volunteer-run charity where 100% of donations go to projects. It has supported many worthwhile projects across the world, but its basic vision remains the same as it was at the start: to work in a low-impact, sustainable way to support the poorest communities, particularly children, listening to community needs in the developing world. A recent project has been to rebuild 14 schools in Nepal since the earthquake in 2015, helping over 3000 children.

Cotswold Outdoor contribute 5% of any money spent in their stores by a KE Adventure client.

We are Archery GB, the national governing body for archery in the UK. Our role is to facilitate safe participation for current archers and to develop the sport so anyone who wants to take it up can do so. Archery is an inclusive sport, and as such we encourage participation in whatever form by those of every age, gender and ability.

British Exploring Society is a world class youth development charity which empowers and equips young people with the courage, resilience and determination to make the most of their future. We take young people to remote locations where they face challenges, gain skills and learn about themselves and the fragile environments that they explore. They return with a new-found confidence and self-belief which they carry forward to their future life. More than this, they forge friendships for life and become part of a unique community of explorers with shared perspectives on the world.
