About the film

How do British Exploring Society expeditions help shape young people’s confidence, resilience, and sense of belonging – both in the wild and back home?

Filmed on location in each young person’s hometown, We Belong Here is an emotive documentary that charts the journey of four young people, a year after their adventures with us.

Together, each young person explores with their families how their experiences have since shaped their decisions and attitudes.

As a charity, We want equal access to challenging learning and adventure in the wilderness as an unbeatable preparation for adult life.

This film and it’s Two-Story Edit were produced with the kind support of the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation and Patron, Nigel Vardy.
