Charity

Thanks to our Charity Partners

The Regenesis Charitable Trust has an application pending with the Charity Commission.

It is distinctly separate from Regenesis Events (CIC), the event organiser, however the two organisations will share this website due to commonality and to allow fundraisers to see the activities and read about the outdoor education program.

What binds the two organisations purpose is what we call The Windermere Protocol – the actions of friendship healing, harmony, kindness, recovery and resilience, in the outdoors.

The purpose of creating a separate charity is to facilitate more outdoor education events, for more users of all ages, and to attract funding to deliver the Regenesis Event Program to a wider audience.

Further news will follow and this page is the portal to charitable activities, applications and fundraising.

Below is a preview of some of the charity activities we have recently undertaken.

During June 2026, Regenesis worked with one of Manchester’s leading UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools to test an out of school education day in the Lake District.

The purpose of the day was to

  • Facilitate and fund a day in the Lakes
  • Explore nature and fell walking
  • Learn about safety and survival techniques
  • Link the day to the true story of the Windermere Children
  • Facilitate thought about kindness and inclusivity
  • Expand the messaging into homes and across educational and religious institutions
  • Engage the pupils with an experienced role model who can pass their new passion of exploring into the hands of the DofE, Cadets, Scouts etc

Moving Forwards

The project’s light-touch approach has enabled us to introduce key themes of racial harmony to younger audiences and communities in Manchester that have previously had limited engagement with this type of education.

To roll out the scheme further there are two plans.

  1. Low Cost – Offer the scheme to schools with existing outdoor plans and budgets- for example residential trips to the Lakes.
  2. Subsidised – To expand the current offering using the UNICEF RSS benchmark as a self selecting network of beneficiary schools.

Option 2 has potential for c. 15 schools from Manchester in 2027, and would require full funding of c. £50,000.

The costs break down as follows

  • £3,000 per Single School (assuming catered, transport and 60 pupils)
  • Private Coach Transport £1,200 per day
  • Educational and safety guide £500-1000 per school
