How does our funding work?
Unlike many tour operators, we have our own charitable trust through which all RWH Travel's profits are channeled back into a variety of outdoor, walking related or environmental conservation projects in the UK. We especially want to focus on encouraging both young and old to experience the beauty and rewards that our countryside can bring. Here are just a few of the larger projects we have funded recently:The Ramblers Don't Lose Your Way Campaign
Our current support to the value of £400,000 is focused on the Ramblers 'Don't Lose Your Way' campaign. This project has found 49,138 miles of rights of way missing from the definitive map in England and Wales, which the Ramblers is now racing to save by 2026.

Supporting the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
One of the RHCT's main aims is to provide financial support to a number of environmental and educational organisations in the UK with a focus on our young people. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme is an organisation that we are very proud to have been able to work with over the last few years.

Extending support through our smaller grants scheme
View the most recent smaller projects that we are proud to have supported below:
Dubs Hut Bothy Renovation
The iconic Dubs Hut Bothy has been renovated, thanks to a grant from the RHCT
Silverburn Park Campsite
We have provided ongoing support of the regeneration of the Park and specifically the creation of the new camping and glamping site. With our support earlier this summer they were able to add disabled ramp access to the shower block and create an accessible entrance to the facility.
Penrhys Pilgrimage Project
The Trust contributed funds to mark the path, making it easily accessible to locals and visitors alike.
The Dartmoor Way
RHCT have supported the later stages of this project by donating just over £18k to provide much needed funds to buy new signposts and tools for the volunteers.
