Resumo: The hosting organization works across the UK providing co-operative and outdoor adventures to children and young people up to the age of 21 years. The hosting organization manages 6 residential centres and facilitates 300 local youth groups all delivering a varied programme linked to our organisational aims and principles, including:

- Education for social change: the hosting organization seeks to develop in our young members a critical awareness of the world. We will work to develop their knowledge, attitudes, values and skills necessary for them to act to bring about the changes that they feel are necessary to create a more equal and caring world.

- Co-operative and sharing approach to life: the hosting organization believes that to further our aims it is vital to approach our educational work through the principles of co-operation. To achieve this we will provide a programme which ensures that our members practice co-operation through all the activities in which they participate.

- International understanding: Our motto is ‘Span the world with friendship’. We will therefore encourage and develop international understanding and friendship through our educational work and by our exchanges between children and young people of different lands. We will promote a greater understanding of the world amongst our members so that they are aware of the inequalities which exist in it.

- One world: the hosting organization will encourage an understanding of the need to protect our environment and the use of the world’s resources.

- Inclusion: The hosting organization welcomes all children, young people and adults, who wish to become members of the movement. As an educational movement, we believe that equal opportunities should extend to all aspects of activity and participation in the hosting organization. We will combat oppression or discrimination in our movement, whether on grounds of age, class, gender, race, sexual orientation or for reasons of disability. We will educate our members so that they may take these issues into the wider community.

- Rights of the Child: In our work with children and young people, we respect and defend their individual rights, and encourage them to participate responsibly and democratically, in all aspects of the hosting organization activity.

- A world at peace: Because of our international outlook and concern that all shall enjoy the right to freedom from the immorality of war and want, the hosting organization is dedicated to the cause of peace.

In 2018, the hosting organization launched a new strategic plan committing to its values driven programme and seeking to increase and widen participation. As such our current activities include:

- Sustaining our local groups, by increasing attendance of young people through the provision of a quality programme based on the above aims and principles
- New group development, recruiting new volunteers to develop groups in communities new to the hosting organization
- Outreach and engagement activities, such as children's activities at festivals, play outs and taster sessions, to offer more young people a chance to participate in the hosting organizationactivities
- Targeted activity events at our residential centres, bringing together groups of young people to share experiences
- An international camp, planned for August 2020, seeking to engage over 3,000 young people
- Partnerships with other youth organisations across Europe, supporting exchanges, seminars and international youth projects
- Supporting youth led campaigns, initiated by young people on issues important to them.
