…in Lima, Peru at least.   Our children’s project in the shanty town of Villa Maria, Lima is soon to come into its own again, with our team arriving in a few weeks to bring the summer holiday for thousands of kids to life. I’m just passing through there today, on my way to visit […]

Saturday last my little sister was married to her childhood sweetheart.  She looked absolutely breathtaking and the happy couple did a wonderful job of entertaining us all.  There were ground breaking dance renditions, wonderful speeches, incredible food and a fantastic master of ceremonies (ME!).   It’s now a few days rest before heading off to […]

What a way to spend a sunday in Brighton! The sun was shining, tens of thousands of cheering people thronged the streets, and the smell of excitement was in the air. And, most importantly of all, six runners ran 26.2 miles in the climbing temperatures to raise money for our charity Quest4Change – fantastic! So […]

Okay that might be exaggerating things a little, but we did do our bit. On a beautiful sunny day in Brighton, 8,000 people got together to run 26.2 miles at the second annual Brighton Marathon, and Quest helped out by manning the water station at mile 6. An early start at 6am wasn’t enough to […]

Here in the Quest Office we have everything crossed for all of you waiting for A-Level results to come out next week. We all remember it well and know what a tense time it can be, but remember, whatever happens your options are open. With the rise in tuition fees in 2012, if you have […]

The 2011 Tanzania Gap Year is well and truly underway!  Dom, Emily, Haydn, Kari and Lorna touched down at Kilimanjaro Airport on Friday evening and have spent the weekend preparing for work and acclimatising to the temperature (not to mention getting used to the rice and beans diet!) Thunderstorms are the byword in Babati at this time of year, […]
