Make a real difference
Quest have built long-term partnerships with projects in Africa and Latin America and expertise gained from years of sourcing worthwhile projects that have the potential to be sustainable over the long-term. At Quest we work with local managers dedicated to the future of the projects and its beneficiaries. All of our projects make a real and tangible difference to the lives of participants, communities and local environments in which they are based.

Providing a project dedicated to your school’s needs
Each of our partners has a number of projects offering different opportunities for volunteering. For example our partner in Peru needs simple but effective housing built for some of Lima’s poorest families, improvements for the community school so that they can house more pupils, children sponsored through education, play areas created and expanded upon, simple assistance with lessons, after school activities and outreach work and lively and enthusiastic people to help with weekend entertainment. Quest will seek to understand your students’ learning objectives so we can source a specific project that meets your school or university’s needs. Your establishment can even choose to maintain inks with a specific project and work with that project partner each year, building lasting relationships, which can be used to enhance lessons when you return home.

A reputation above all others
Twelve years ago, Quest were one of the first companies to send teams of people overseas to work on projects. By insisting on quality in all aspects of the business, Quest has one of the best reputations in the market. No other company can stand-up to the scrutiny of a team of health & safety experts better than Quest. Our experience ranges from small teams of outdoor enthusiasts enjoying 3 weeks ice-climbing in the Bolivian Andes to larger teams from global consultancy firm, Scott Wilson, each spending one month building a school in Mozambique.

Dedicated volunteer management
From the outset, Quest is involved in ensuring that every volunteer is looked after. Quest provides comprehensive pre-departure planning and training, including information packs, dedicated websites, online student presentations, specialist medical advice, pre-departure and first aid training courses in the UK, assistance with booking flights, organisation of all overseas logistics, provision of fully-qualified leaders, 24 hour emergency back-up. We also have full insurance and liability cover for all our expeditions.

What makes Quest even more unique is our personal touch
All our staff members have first-hand knowledge of the project sites and countries where we work. They care passionately about what they do and this enthusiasm will come across from the moment you meet us. We are a hands-on company that will work with you to create the perfect expedition. We combine our knowledge and the needs of our projects with the aims and objectives you have for your students.
