Inspire Alpine is a leading tour operator and mountaineering class based in Wrexham, offering a range of life-changing experiences for individuals and groups. With a strong commitment to inspiring young people and closing the attainment gap, Inspire Alpine aims to provide opportunities for all to succeed.
One of the main offerings from Inspire Alpine is their inspirational talks, given by Ricky, the founder of the company. Ricky grew up on a council estate and overcame adversity to complete the toughest race on earth and reach the summit of Everest. Ricky speaks at over 100 school and business events each year to inspire audiences and raise their aspirations.
In addition to the talks, Inspire Alpine offers a selection of UK guided mountain walks, challenge events, and skills courses. These adventures aim to inspire individuals to follow their dreams, build a positive team culture, or raise funds for causes they are passionate about.
For those seeking more adventurous experiences, Inspire Alpine provides overseas treks and climbing expeditions to six continents. These expeditions not only push participants outside their comfort zones, but they also contribute directly to improving the lives of disadvantaged young people.
Inspire Alpine's impact is far-reaching, with 180 inspirational talks given to raise aspirations and 28,500 young people inspired across the UK. They have also supported 120 young people in the UK mountains, helping them build confidence and resilience.
Safety is a top priority for Inspire Alpine, and they have been issued with the international 'Safe Travels' stamp from the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). They are also a Global Rescue Safe Travel Partner and hold the “We're Good To Go” industry standard mark, ensuring that they have clear processes in place to address COVID-19 and similar outbreaks.
To demonstrate the real impact of their work, Inspire Alpine shares case studies of young people who have been positively affected. These stories include Matthew, a 7-year-old who planned an Everest camping adventure with his dad who is currently in the hospital, Arran, an 8-year-old with Aspergers and ADHD who regained confidence through hearing inspiring stories, and Luke, a 17-year-old who found new possibilities for his future after attending one of Inspire Alpine's talks.
