Testimonials ‘The organisation of the Grand Prix itself, the quality of the circuit, the facilities and infrastructure were simply amazing, but a highlight for me was the star studded Grand Prix Ball. The setting was stunning, the organisation flawless and the food, decor and entertainment all excellent. I had the great pleasure to speak with Marissa Tomei, Neve Campbell, Jeremy Irons and Nicky Clarke, all of whom were equally impressed with the management of the Ball. I was also amazed to see Janet Jackson attending.

50. The benefactor – Outward bound charity PATRONS HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco HRH Prince Andrew The Duke of York, KG PATRON, OUTWARD BOUND MONACO CHAIRMAN OUTWARD BOUND Outward Bound® is, of course, the most famous of all adventure brand names and is worldwide with centres in more than 30 countries. It is the organization that fiercely guards the right of young people to have access to safe adventure experiences through which they realize their potential. The mountains and the sea have provided the classroom for a million young people who have benefited from Outward Bound®, founded in 1941, and while teamwork and physical endeavour have had periods in which they have been unfashionable since that time, the tide has now turned in their favour. Throughout that time Outward Bound® has maintained a belief that outdoor adventures make a significant contribution to the development of young people. Now the nation has recognized again that skills and attributes such as leadership, and teamwork are critical if young people are to be equipped for the challenges they face whilst at school, and as they enter the world of work. In our current environment of sliding values, Outward Bound® is more important than ever. It actually triggers the right values and standards in young people and has a huge influence on their character and indeed, their courage. A great deal has changed since Kurt Hahn founded Outward Bound® 60 years ago, but the basic need remains the same. As Hahn said, "we are all better then we know. If only we can be brought to realize this, we may never be prepared to settle for anything less." Through outdoor challenges it shows young people the meaning of what is one of the greatest sentences in the English language: "I can." In the last three years alone more than 40,000 young people have taken the challenge, and next year a further 20,000 will complete the High Challenge Ropes Course, build a raft or abseil for the first time in their life. These young people will complete their Outward Bound® adventure as part of a residential course at one of The Trust's centres in inspiring locations in The Lake District, Wales and Scotland, or as part of an out-reach project near to their home.
