Our Summer 2025 newsletter is out now.
Introduction
Our new look e-newsletter aims to keep you informed about some of the recent expeditions we have supported, our latest news and a video presentation for grant applicants. We’re trying a new electronic format for this edition of the newsletter. It saves money on printing and posting, its more eco-friendly and it means you can enjoy interactive content by clicking the photos or links. Please let us know what you think. And don’t forget to follow us on social media @UlyssesTrust for the very latest news. Thanks!
Recent Expeditions
It’s been a record-breaking year for The Ulysses Trust. So far, we have supported 118 expeditions that have already deployed this year with many more to follow over the coming months. Visit the expeditions section of our website to find out more about the cadet, Officer Cadet and reservist expeditions we have funded.
The Royal Patron Expedition Awards
Each year The Ulysses Trust presents three awards for the previous year’s best expeditions in the following categories—Cadet Forces, University Units and Volunteer Reserve Forces—to highlight the very best in leadership, ambition, endeavour and planning. Award certificates will be presented at regional events in 2025. Further details will be announced on our website. Here are the winners.
