Run the Brighton Marathon for Quest4Change!

Exciting news - the 1st ever Brighton Marathon will be held next year on 18th April 2010 and places are going fast!

If you fancy tackling the 26 mile route taking in the best of the city centre, fabulous stretches of coastal road and stunning views over the South Downs why not run for Quest4Change and support our projects in Africa and South America. Over the last 13 years Quest4Change has raised over £1.2 million to alleviate poverty and protect endangered environments through the support of worthwhile and sustainable projects.

Quest Lettuce

Today marked a momentous occasion in the Quest office...after weeks of careful planting, re-planting and watering Andy's efforts to create a makeshift vegetable haven in the back garden have finally paid off. In his absence (sorry!) we enjoyed the first taste of Quest lettuce, hopefully soon to be followed by Quest courgettes, Quest tomatoes, more Quest lettuce, Quest aubergines and Quest chili peppers...watch this space!

Not quite what the Quest Overseas greenhouse looks like...

The verdict...tasty, in a lettucy kind of way.

Come visit us at Eton on Saturday

The forecast for this weekend is looking pretty good, but before you head on down to the beach, to the last day at Royal Ascot, or perhaps even to Silverstone, you might want to stop by and find out more about your gap year options at Eton College. We'll be there from 10.30am until midday, as will dozens of other gap year providers, so do stop by and ask us about our expeditions in South America and Africa.

You can find out how to get to Eton on their website by clicking here

Our nude Hero!

A massive congratulations to Ted who in the name of charity exposed himself to Brighton and Hove. Wearing only socks and sunglasses (so to not get caught looking at the other riders privates) Ted managed the uncomfortable ride in aid of raising funds to buy two much needed wheel chairs for the kids of Casa Lar. Unfortunately he did however forget to wear any sun cream, silly Ted!

If you want to know more about he effects of exposure to the sun please follow the link bellow.
