The Madoc Benfell Memorial Trust is a registered charity
We provide life-changing outdoor opportunities for young people across Wellington to build their confidence, grow their resilience & help them discover how wildly capable they are.
We connect with schools across the greater Wellington region & provide opportunities for young people to attend outdoor experiences across New Zealand
These experiences include, but are not limited to, school camps, Outward Bound, The Spirit of Adventure & Hillary Outdoor Education Centre Tongariro.
We rely solely on the generosity of our community & supporters to provide these life-changing outdoor opportunities for young people. We do this through your kind donations, sales of our Wildly Capable Bracelets & fundraising events.
Our mission for 2023 / 2024
To raise awareness of the Trust, start raising funds & provide a life-changing outdoor experience for our first young person.
As a registered charity, you can claim a tax rebate on your donation.
Our hope is that this Trust will be a physical reminder to make life spectacular for our young people
To let the lessons of nature & outdoor experiences build their confidence, grow their resilience & help them discover how wildly capable they are. And to support them to keep going, against all odds.
