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!
