Earth Tax

As part of the Rebearth Future Adventure Ethos of environmental protection and sustainability I have decided to create an Earth tax whereby part of the income generated by Rebearth Future Adventure is invested directly in local organisations and campaigns which support our ethos, it’s nice to share and as they say charity begins at home.

The Benefactors of the Rebearth Earth tax for 2009 are

  • The QE2 Silver jubilee Activity centre, Manor Farm Country Park, Bursledon Hampshire.

    1 of a group of 12 “very special” outdoor adventure centres in the UK. Having worked with these guys for the past few years, I appreciate that they are an amazing bunch of people totally dedicated to offering opportunities to people with special needs and disabilities the opportunity to participate in a wide range of outdoor adventure activities in a safe and extremely caring environment. Please visit their website for more information on their fantastic work, all I ask is that you mention Rebearth if you chose to contact them.
