In November, UPG was pleased to provide seed funding to support the establishment of The Maverick Survival School, a newly registered Hampshire-based charity delivering outdoor survival and bushcraft education focused on building resilience, confidence and wellbeing.

The charity’s programmes use practical skills and time in nature to create a supportive environment for connection, personal development and positive mental wellbeing. Our early-stage support is intended to help accelerate set-up activity and initial delivery, enabling Maverick to build momentum and extend its reach across the local community.
