Everyone at Student Adventures would like to wish all our participants, charity partners, Rags and people that we work with a very Happy Christmas. Together with the team of charities and student organisations we've had an incredible 2011 and we hope everyone enjoys a big serving of Christmas pudding!

Highlights of the year for Student Adventures have seen us grow and work with more charities and student organisations than ever before. As a team with our key partners we've seen more students get involved than ever before. All being well we will be able to help Rags and their students raise in the region of £1.6 million for charity in 2012! On that note we'll wish you a Happy New Year when it comes!

Our congratulations go to Nottingham Karnival who last night at their annual Snow Flake Ball announced an incredible total of £1.32 million raised for good causes after much hard work from students across campus in 2011.

Student Adventures were delighted to be in attendance to share this fabulous evening and we've enjoyed working with and supporting Notts Karni by working closely together to provide unique opportunities for Nottingham students to take on adventures in aid of our charity partners.

Special note has to go to Karni Director, Chris Bowman, who took an unpaid sabbatical from his studies to lead the team in this incredible feat of commitment and passion for supporting charity.

We look forward to carrying on working with Karni in the New Year and we wish Barney Cornick the incoming director and his team the best of luck in carrying on the long established traditions of this great student fundraising organisation.

Student Adventures is pleased to welcome their latest member to the team, Tom Bartley. Tom has a long track record in student fundraising from his years volunteering with Rag. He has also recently completed a successful sabbatical post as Manchester Rag's Co-ordinator, whilst gaining a breadth of experience in student fundraising and helped Manchester students to raise in excess of £330,000 for good causes last year.

Tom applied for a paid internship with Student Adventures in the summer to work on the delivery of two of our great adventures, London to Paris Bike Ride and the epic Bratislava or Bust! Having made a valuable contribution to the team and helping the adventures to run smoothly it was a natural fit.

Tom's role as Adventure Leaders Manager is to use his very recent Rag experience to relate to, coach and support our Adventure Leaders all over the country  as they in turn work hand-in-hand with Rags to support and encourage students to take on an incredible adventure in support of our fantastic charity partners.

When asked what inspired Tom to apply for a paid summer internship, he replied, "It seemed like a great opportunity for an interesting summer job, a chance to see new places, and make a difference to charity whilst being part of a dynamic team."

Student Adventures are always on the look out for the next great talent. Check out our careers section to see what's on offer and perhaps begin your budding event management and adventure career as an Adventure Leader. For more information on how chat to Tom.

Student Adventures launches new website to continually improve the customer experience for their student adventurers and the support offered to their charity partners.

After many months of garnering feedback from customers, charity partners and unleashing the boffins locked in the cupboard the new look site is the result. Student Adventures holds great stock in continual improvement and innovation and with a series of planned added functionality it is expected that in the long term the site experience will get better and better.

Thanks have to go to Andy and his design team at Blue Splat for coming up with the new look. Also special note of Sparticle Limited and particularly Ash for their hard work in putting the site together with all the technical wizadry in the background. Student Adventures couldn't recommend our technical partners highly enough having worked with them over several years.

Student Adventures prides itself on being responsive to our customers needs and if you have any thoughts, feedback or great ideas to improve the site experience then your suggestions are welcomed - just email info@studentadventures.co.uk and tell us what you think.

So here's to the new site and all who sail in her!
