Our Experience
With 12 years of operational experience sending teams of volunteers to work on projects overseas and an exceptional safety record, Quest can provide your organisation with the security and peace of mind you need.
Our Ethics
We are dedicated to responsible volunteering and our volunteer teams have raised over £1 million for our projects overseas through volunteer donations over the past 12 years. We have also built up close personal partnerships with 14 charities and grassroot projects in both Africa and Latin America. After being short-listed twice, in 2007 Quest was awarded 'Highly Commended' in the Best Volunteering Organisation category at the World Responsible Tourism Awards.
Corporate Sponsorship
Your company can become a corporate sponsor to any of these projects or sponsor a particular aspect of one of the projects - such as a school, water tank or training centre.
Becoming a corporate sponsor through Quest will mean you can kick-start a project so that others can build on it in years to come or build up a relationship with your project over several years. Your employees can raise funds directly for the project you select and know that all the funds will be spent purely on that project.
Employee Volunteering
Quest have the expertise to provide your employees with the opportunity to take part in your company-sponsored project overseas. We have 12 years of experience planning, managing and running expeditions in Africa and Latin America and can provide support and advice for every single aspect of planning your tailor-made corporate trip and provide a specialised and personal approach.
By using Quest to manage your team employee expedition you can be assured that all safety, risk and health issues will be fully covered. We also provide liability cover - another weight off your mind.
What also makes Quest unique is our long-term relationship with each of our partners. We work with each partner for a minimum of 5 years and in many cases have been working with our partners for 11 years or more.
This unique personal relationship means we can offer your company an in-depth relationship with your chosen project and can guarantee that any work your company sponsors or your employees carry out will be maintained and supported over the long-term, not just disappear once you leave.
