Representation. Resilience. Real-world change.
We are a Community Interest Company (CIC) using adventure as a platform to educate, inspire, and champion representation in the outdoors.
Founded by Preet Chandi, polar explorer, speaker, physiotherapist, and world-record holder, Adventure is Ours exists to challenge stereotypes and break barriers, both on the ice and in everyday life.
Whether we’re crossing the Antarctic, walking through schools, or mentoring the next generation, we’re here to prove that adventure isn’t reserved for a few, it belongs to everyone.
Why We Exist
Too many people grow up never seeing themselves reflected in outdoor spaces or stories of exploration.
We want to change that, by showing what’s possible, sharing the reality behind the expeditions, and creating tangible support for others to begin their own journeys.
What We Do
✅ Expeditions with Purpose
We use high-profile, record-breaking journeys to raise awareness around climate change, resilience, and identity and bring those lessons back to classrooms and communities. We also take young people on outdoor adventures to help them build confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging in nature.
✅ Outreach & Education
We deliver talks, workshops, and school visits that connect exploration to mindset, perseverance, and self-belief.
✅ Representation & Access
We support aspiring adventurers of all backgrounds through grants, mentoring, and inclusive outdoor programmes, including age-diverse grant categories (under 10, mid-life, and over 60).
Our Vision
To build a future where anyone, from any background, feels seen, supported, and inspired to explore, not just the world, but their own potential.
Our Founder: Preet Chandi
Preet is a polar explorer and the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition to the South Pole. She holds multiple world records and uses her platform to inspire others to push boundaries, no matter where they start.
Her own journey into adventure didn’t begin until her 30s. Now, she’s making it easier for others to step into the unknown with confidence.
