Global Warrior Project - Foundation Expedition
Donation protected
I am an outdoor enthusiast, photographer, videographer and passionate environmental advocate from Saddleworth on the Yorkshire border. Before working in marketing, I had worked primarily on behalf Non-Profit Organisations including Greenpeace, WWF, Amnesty International and Shelter both in the UK and Australia. It was through this experience that opened my eyes to the issues and injustice faced in our world, and I have since become endeavoured to act and to play my part in doing something about it.
After entering an online competition in July organised by Henri Lloyd, I was invited to take part in a survival training weekend in Dartmoor. This was a highly intensive 2 day weekend that aimed to test us both physically and mentally with challenges and scenarios one might face on an expedition.
As a result of that weekend, I now have the opportunity to join renowned explorer and founder Jim McNeill this September as part of the Foundation Expedition, which will circumnavigate around Svalbard to set up vital scientific equipment that will help measure the impact of climate change. As I prepare to take part in this transformative venture, I'm reaching out to kindred spirits, businesses with a shared vision, and individuals who believe in the power of unified action. The #foundationexpedition is calling for sponsors and collaborators to be a part of this monumental endeavour. Whether you're a business leader seeking a profound partnership or an individual with a heart for making a difference, your support will leave an indelible mark.
The Ocean Warrior project; is an eleven-year endeavour to take Europe’s largest wooden Schooner - crewed by ordinary members of the public - from Svalbard to Plymouth and on to the Ice Warrior base in Resolute Bay, Canada in the Northwest Passage, and return. This scientifically significant project will build a better understanding of the planets tipping points through citizen science.
To secure my place aboard the Ocean Warrior and cover essential costs, I'm striving to raise £8,000 through sponsorships. I recognize the immense value of each contribution, and I'm committed to acknowledging your generosity in meaningful ways. Join hands with us, and you'll be woven into the fabric of this historic expedition.
Advocated by luminaries like Sir David Attenborough and Sir Ranulph Fiennes, this project is an unparalleled opportunity for forward-thinking businesses. When you partner with the Global Warrior initiative, you reap more than just exposure; you invest in a legacy of positive change. The benefits extend beyond the expedition, encompassing associations that endure and returns that go beyond the balance sheet.
I will be documenting my involvement both with photo and film, in an effort to not only highlight the incredible work that the Ocean Warrior Project is doing, but to document the issues that our planet faces, and to inspire others to act. Global change requires local action, and I firmly believe that we all have the power to change our reality. As someone who grew up on a council estate in Greater Manchester, I hope that my journey will inspire others to fight for their own beliefs and goals.
The Ocean Warrior Project is poised to redefine our understanding of the world's tipping points. By becoming a sponsor or collaborator, you align with innovation, progress, and lasting impact. Join hands with us, and let's create a legacy that resonates for generations to come.
Whether it is the price of a pint, a coffee or more - your generosity is something I am deeply grateful for.
