The MAD Foundation is proud to have a small number of Charity Patrons to help champion our work. Each year they try to raise funds for our Projects by either volunteering overseas with our 'Madventurers' or by taking part on a MAD Challenge such as climbing Kilimanjaro.

Every Patron also engages with the youth on their return from any visit and help spread the word about the amazing causes we aim to support.

Our MAD Patrons include Robert Swan OBE, Josie Gibson, John Luke Pickard, Elen Rivas and Polly Parsons - we welcome more inspiring Patrons to join this unique network of Ambassadors to help promote the work we do and to engage more youth to consider engaging in community projects overseas.

Elen Rivas, Polly Parsons and one of MAD Foundation's Trustees Liam McGough headed to Ghana to volunteer and to take part in teaching, community building and sports developments projects. Here is a selection of footage taken on a recent trip:
