Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The Polar Academy identifies ‘invisible’ 14-17 years old secondary school children, crushed by a lack of self-esteem and gives them the chance to redefine their physical and mental limits.

Participants are put through a rigorous ten-month training programme before being immersed in Arctic Greenland, navigating through some of the world’s remotest terrain for ten days as part of a major expedition.  Their confidence soars with every step. 

This expedition will be beyond anything that they ever thought to be possible and will positively change the lives of the participants and their families.

On their return to Scotland, each pupil shares their experiences with their peer groups - each participant is tasked with inspiring a minimum of 3,000 other young people  in their community..  They are living, breathing proof that dreams are attainable and that ordinary pupils can achieve the truly extraordinary.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
