the Foundation is a registered charity, through which we aim to lift the horizons of people of all ages and from all backgrounds through the medium of flight. We support those with life-limiting and chronic illnesses; families who have suffered some form of tragedy and those who are working to recover a sense of self-worth and need a life-boost.

By experiencing the fun and love of flying, an exhilarating flight allows someone to reach for the sky and leave their worries on the ground; enabling them to see the world from a new perspective. For many, finding new excitement in life is an enormous step. The power and freedom of flight inspires new determination; providing an injection of exhilaration which has proved to generate enormous enthusiasm, as well as long-term self-esteem and confidence.

Sometimes all it takes is for someone to tell you that you DO have the ability to achieve and to be given you an opportunity to prove it, to yourself as well to others.

These same benefits changed the life of our own Marketing & Fundraising Director after an accident.     Read Mandy's story

Education

We also aim to encourage youngsters to reach their full potential through educational programmes run in partnership with schools or community groups. the Foundation offers a limited number of flying scholarships to those who have a thirst for an aerospace career.
