This is a volunteer post.
The expedition costs of leaders and youngsters are paid by the trust. The cost to JoLt for each individual to participate in the expedition is approximately £5,000. Leaders are encouraged to do some fundraising. The youngsters are given the challenge of raising at least £600.
