 Introduction
Rhys

Rhys is 8 years old.  He has Aspergers Syndrome.

The Ufosa Foundation is an international charity organisation with its Headquarters in Sussex UK, founded by British Pilot Robert Vallier.

 

Flight can have an uplifting experience on people whatever their age. So, Ufosa launched Touch The Sky, taking ill and handicapped kids and their parents up in the air to give the family some much-needed respite.

 

Ufosa brings an amazing experience to the whole family.  Some of the children Robert flew with won't survive to be 20 but the effect of the flight on them has been fantastic.  Touch The Sky was "A chance in a lifetime!” as one parent put it.

To launch Touch The Sky, Robert made a gruelling 350-mile Fundraiser Walk over 35 days from Battle, East Sussex, to Snowdon in Wales.

 

Along the Route, Ufosa visited 5 aero club Sponsors along the way who generously provided him with an aircraft to take ill and handicapped children and their families up into the air flying.

 

What was it like to walk that distance?  What were the challenges - both personal and in terms of logistics and organisation - that had to be overcome? 

 

And - why would anyone want to walk 350 miles anyway?!

We have a number of Charity Shops in the UK, and are looking to increase them.

In these hard and tough times, it's important for any charity to be active in generating its own income in addition to relying on donations.  That's where our shops come in.

We have a target of 300 shops over the next 5-7 years.  With the decline of the high street during the global economic collapse, many shops and buildings lie empty all over the UK.

Ufosa wants to play its part in the regeneration of the high street.  Our Charity Shops are the answer!
