2002
Guy & Milly founded The Leap
…on the kitchen table. We soon upgraded our technology and moved to the heady heights of our offices in Marlborough.
Social responsibility is at the heart of all we do.
The overriding challenge facing future generations is to protect the planet and combat global warming. We are passionate about doing our bit and getting other like-minded people onboard to achieve small yet incremental changes, whether you are a gap year student, midlifer or company.
But it is not just why we do it - the 'how' is equally important as we want our volunteers to travel off-grid, see as much as they can and fully absorb the culture. This is why all our experiences interweave adventure and contrasting projects led by local and professional project co-ordinators who right now need our help more than ever.
We have travelled the world and partnered with some of the most inspiring "changers" out there who are doing their bit. Overriding everything is our culture of caring and going the extra mile to exceed expectations. You'll have someone to turn to before, during and after your programme. With regard to our overseas partners... we can't list them all, so here are just a few to give you a flavour.
