On the night of The Travel Squad’s 2025 Christmas Ball in Nottingham, Sophie sadly had her car broken into and several hundred pounds worth of hiking gear stolen, including her rucksack, boots, tent and electronics. This comes less than two weeks before she is set to go travelling in New Zealand. As a community of travel lovers, I’m sure we can all appreciate how devastated she must be.

Sophie, like many, has made some great friends through TTS. It’s an amazing group of people that has afforded us some fantastic opportunities. Today we ask you to help out a fellow member of the TTS family in a time of need. I believe there’s enough of us here to get enough money to help Sophie replace her stolen gear. Every little helps and I’m sure she will be massively grateful!

Thank you!
