Community Impact
Community Impact
The FutureSense Foundation is a registered charity (UK no. 1132101) that supports community development in some of the poorest regions of the world.
With a team based year-round in seven countries, the FutureSense Foundation is able to work hand-in-hand with the local community, delivering projects that address actual needs to make a long-lasting impact, with focus on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Environmental Impact

We’ve partnered with Evertreen to neutralise the carbon footprint of our trips. Together, we plant trees in Kenya and Nepal, supporting local communities, generating employment, and neutralising emissions.
We also encourage students to join in activities like tree planting and reducing plastic use, helping to make a positive environmental impact.
