The Campaign seeks to show that life is best approached in a spirit of exploration, adventure and enterprise; to influence and better inform attitudes towards risk; to build wider recognition that chance, unforeseen circumstances and uncertainty are inescapable features of life and that absolute safety is unachievable; and to demonstrate that sensible education and preparation enable an appropriate balance to be achieved between risk & safety and achievement & opportuniCompany not guilty of manslaughter on Everest.
How precious to you is the freedom to be adventurous?

Do you deplore the culture of blame and increasing litigation?

Are you aware how opportunities for and expectations of young people are being eroded in the name of the precautionary principle?

Do you think society has the right balance between risk and enterprise?

Will you help us to do something about it?

A call for the Campaign emerged from a UK national conference addressed by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in November 2000.

The Campaign aims to rejuvenate society's attitudes to enterprise and adventure. It calls for realism and a sensible balance between risks and benefits.

In the next two years, we will take practical steps to:

- raise society's awareness of these issues,
- enlist the help of the media to celebrate the benefits of adventure,
- produce educational resources that promote the necessary balance,
- help more young people to experience adventure.

At this stage in the Campaign, we are seeking to expand our network and to encourage others to offer to do something practical to help.

Will you or your organisation please do one of the following:

- speak or write publicly on the issues?
- consider promoting an event in support of the Campaign?
- offer to host a meeting to take the Campaign forward ?
- help us to grow our network of supporters?
- create a hot link to our web site?
- contribute some money to fund the Campaign?

- take personal action to introduce more adventure to others?
- help us to promote the Campaign in other ways?

Please let us know what you can do or if you would like to be kept in touch.
