Our approach
Dangoor Next Generation Programme is an annual overseas expedition, delivered in partnership with the British Exploring Society, aiming to raise the aspirations of a group of disadvantaged young people by giving them the skills and opportunities to secure employment or further education.
Led by experts, the expedition has been designed to take young people out of their comfort zone in a challenging yet safe environment, with a real focus on the skills and personal development they can gain from the experience.
Whilst the UK training programme will offer opportunities for personal development, it will also be used as an opportunity to prepare young people for the expedition phase and to select those who will be joining the expedition.
It is expected that the UK training will start with approximately 45 Young Explorers, with 30 joining the expedition in the summer.
Frequently asked questions
When is the 2023 Dangoor Next Generation Programme taking place?
The next Dangoor Next Generation Programme expedition is taking place from 27th July to 17th August 2023.
Where is the 2023 Dangoor Next Generation Programme taking place?
The 2023 Dangoor Next Generation Programme will allow young people to explore the Icelandic wilderness and learn to live outdoors.
With approximately 30 active volcanoes, steaming geysers, hot springs, and bubbling mud pools, Iceland is one of the most geologically active places on Earth. A true land of ‘fire and ice’, this awe inspiring landscape is also home to Europe’s most powerful waterfalls, largest desert and largest ice cap outside the poles.
By accepting the challenge of joining the Dangoor Next Generation programme, you will have the opportunity to camp out in the wild near glacial melt rivers for drinking water and washing. Your team will set out from Base Camp to tackle mountain ascents and awe-inspiring canyons with amazing rock formations.
What do young people gain from the Dangoor Next Generation Programme?
The vast majority of young people return from our expeditions with a wealth of new-found practical skills, new friends-for-life and a real sense of personal development – all of which can have tangible benefits for the future.

We will only use the information supplied to us to deal with the enquiry and any subsequent issues, and to check on the level of service we provide.

When these forms are submitted to us, notification emails are automatically generated to send your enquiry to the appropriate team within Catch22 who will store your email for as long as is required to deal with your enquiry and any subsequent issues.
Form submissions are also stored within the Catch22 WordPress database for a period of 90 days. This allows us to identify if there are any issues with forms being received by our teams.

Complaints
Complaints can be submitted using our online feedback form, by emailing feedback@catch-22.org.uk, or by post. Catch22 undertakes the processing of your complaints data as part of its legitimate interests.
When we receive a complaint from a person we make up a file containing the details of the complaint. This normally contains the identity of the complainant and any other individuals involved in the complaint.
We will only use the personal information we collect to process the complaint and to check on the level of service we provide.
We usually have to disclose the complainant’s identity to whoever the complaint is about. This is inevitable where, for example, the accuracy of a person’s record is in dispute. If a complainant doesn’t want information identifying him or her to be disclosed, we will try to respect that. However, it may not be possible to handle a complaint on an anonymous basis.
We will keep personal information contained in complaint files in line with our retention policy. This means that information relating to a complaint will be retained for six years from closure. It will be retained in a secure environment and access to it will be restricted according to the ‘data minimisation’ principle.
For more information, please see the Complaints, Compliments and Feedback policy.
