"I am most grateful to Quest for giving me the opportunity to go to Villa Maria. Villa Maria is a very special place, and although the problem of poverty drugs and child abuse are evident, one cannot help but be uplifted by the community spirit and the warmness and vibrancy of the people. As a regular tourist it would never have been possible to go to Villa Maria, let alone be welcomed into the community as much as we were."

The core philosophy behind QUEST is to ensure that we are supporting the countries and communities that we visit for the long-term. We believe in helping our projects to plan for the future and to ensure that they are sustainable for the communities that they support.
The Quest Charitable Trust has been set-up to support our philosophy and create further clarity on where your charitable donation is spent. In essence we will continue to donate the optimum amount as we have in the past but with the added bonus that Gift Aid can be claimed to maximise the positive impact that the money is providing. It also means that we can fundraise through other means and create further support for our projects, meaning that teams can achieve even more.
