Your company and Raleigh

Raleigh programmes inspire people, enabling them to drive their performance through improved leadership, teamwork and by increasing their ability to manage in an unpredictable, rapidly changing environment. If that sounds like the world your business or organisation operates in and skills that you need, then Raleigh can help you.

Since 1984 Raleigh has paved the way in using real, sustainable projects as vehicles for personal and professional development, both in the UK and overseas. Real projects carry real risks and are of real consequence. Participants engage physically, intellectually and emotionally because they know the projects we source fit into the bigger picture of long-term sustainability. They know their efforts will make a very real difference. This level of engagement embeds learning through experience at an extraordinarily deep level, focussing on personal, team and corporate values.

Our values of drive, courage, integrity and discovery are core to our activities and the Raleigh experience develops key leadership competencies including:

• building and maintaining relationships
• communication & influencing skills
• personal effectiveness
• planning & decision-making
• team focus
• innovation and creativity
• wider global perspective.

In 2007 Dr Simon Beames, University of Edinburgh evaluated the impact of our expedition in Costa Rica. They surveyed participants before and after their experience and found a significant improvement in:

• Mental resilience to succeed
• Confidence in dealing with people from different cultures and countries
• Self awareness
• Preparedness to influence group situations
• Ability to plan and lead group projects

Using high impact, innovative and engaging programmes, we offer organisations opportunities to improve employee recruitment, development and retention combined with a powerful corporate social responsibility (CSR) message.

All profits and proceeds from corporate activity are put into the charity to support our work with young people.
