Our Impact

Millions of people cannot access basic medical care, clean water, schools or receive the Good News of God’s love, simply because it’s too dangerous or time-consuming to reach them. We provide flights for 1,500 aid, development and mission organisations to enable them to transform lives. It’s a great partnership – and you can help make it possible.

Isolation Trial

Push your limits

Secret location

Isolation

Unplugged

Fundraise £1,000

We are partnering with Lost Sheep Guiding to run our first ever Isolation Trial in 2026 – an opportunity for you to step into the hardships of isolation – in solidarity with those MAF serves – plus raise vital funds and awareness for MAF UK.

It will push your limits and test your resourcefulness as you navigate your way from ‘isolation’ to a mystery location and experience some of the barriers that the people MAF serves must overcome on a daily basis.

For the adventurous, it’s going to have everything…

Secret location

Geographical isolation

Rugged terrain

Wild camping

Minimal kit

Basic food

Team quests

Strategy games

Beautiful scenery

And whatever weather the wilds of Scotland throws at us

The Challenge?

Two nights of wild camping with team building challenges to overcome along the way. Use or learn navigational and survival skills. Fully unplugged.

Where?

Participants will meet in Glasgow, journey together as a team to an unknown isolated destination and begin the trial from there on foot. The trip will end back in Glasgow.

When?

Friday September 4 – 6 September 2026.

Age?

Successful applicants must be aged 18 or over on the first day of the event.

Cost?

FREE. However, a minimum of £1,000 fundraising target applies, and participants will need to pay for travel to Glasgow – plus essential kit.

Team Size?

Only 12 spaces available – please register your interest before they go!

Successful applicants must be willing to share their journey of preparation and fundraising regularly with MAF supporters via social media.

We will support you in this process and encourage you all the way.

Applicants will be offered an informal online interview and must complete an Isolation Trial Participant Agreement and Medical Declaration Form. If you are aged 17 but will turn 18 by 4 September 2026, a parent or guardian will also be required to complete a Parent/Guardian Consent and Medical Declaration Form for the Isolation Trial. If you apply below, the relevant form(s) will be emailed to you.

The closing date for applications is midnight on 31 January 2026.
