People suffering from HIV and AIDS in the developing world are being put at greater risk of death from the disease becuase of dwindling stocks of drugs and a decline in the amount of funding for treatment programmes. A report by The International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC) looked in depth at the AIDS situations in […]

The guys in Villa Maria are particularly excited at the moment, as Kevan and Penny Ashbridge have travelled out to Peru and will be visiting the many houses which have been built in their daughter’s memory. We look forward to hearing news of the goings on from their visit – watch this space!

So it’s the first one in history, in Brighton anyway. Around 10,000 nutters will be running, jogging and crawling around the streets of Brighton this Sunday for the inaugural Brighton Marathon. Included in this motley crew are four people running for Quest4Change as well as one of our office staff, good luck to you all! […]

Our Quest Swaziland team’s departure has unfortunately been put back from tomorrow until next Wednesday, of all the reasons for flight delays, this is got to be the most original! Anyway, once […]

Many Gap Year providers, including Quest Overseas will be there to answer any questions […]

We have spent the last 10 days in Huaraz, Huanchaco, Lima and Cusco. We left Huaraz after bridge jumping and took a night bus to Huanchaco, which is a pretty Northern town on the coast of Peru. There we learnt how to surf and enjoyed hanging out on the beach. That next morning we took […]

Always keen to minimise our impact on the local environment (well, almost always), here is our team not blending in with their local surroundings on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Since a team in 2000 decided to trek the trail in tailor made suits, this has set a challenge to all Quest teams to […]
