Feedback

The team at Inspire Worldwide have met many incredible people during their time managing volunteer expeditions overseas. We are very proud to have an excellent reputation amongst both our contacts overseas and our past clients.

Please do have a read through some of the comments made by those that know us the best and have worked with us:

“I think this is one of the most meaningful things I have done so far, to understand a country is not only to go sight-seeing but to know it’s people, living conditions and to get close to the community in a good way. Unforgettable.”
Ronghua Lee, Tanzania, 2011

Community volunteers tanzania“You have changed my perspective of life for the better, showing me things and giving me experiences I could never have got on my own” 
Lydia Rose-Cox, Swaziland, 2011

“I feel that I contributed more than just funds – by building the project becomes more real and I loved being around the kids. Interesting and insightful.”
Rosie Peck, Tanzania, 2011

“Experience of a life-time.” 
Toby Wills, Malawi, 2011

corporate team"Hi 
Beth,
Thank you for giving my daughter Alex this fantastic opportunity. I have been eagerly awaiting each update and am grateful to you for keeping us in touch. I know she will be full of stories about her experience and I'm sure she will be 'inspired' to continue exploring as she gets older. [My] best wishes in developing and helping those in need in Swaziland.
Thank you again"
Liz St Clair, Parent, 2011

“Dear Beth, There is no doubt in my mind that this was a great trip in all sorts of ways. The effect on our pupils was life changing. They returned undoubtedly wiser and, key, better people.  Thank you.”
Tim Manly, Headteacher, Hurstpierpoint College, West Sussex, Malawi 2010

Hi Beth, Many thanks for all your help prior to, during and post trip. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience, I loved it!!! A unique opportunity to bring two very different communities together to work for a fantastic cause in a beautiful, inspiring setting. Thank You.
Sarah Ledger, Teacher, Leighton Park School, Reading, Malawi 2010

"Hi Beth, I just wanted to write a note to thank you for all the help, support and guidance that you gave to help make 'Project Africa' a reality. The feedback from all of those who went and from those who were involved in making it happen has been overwhelming. If I were planning a similar trip in the future I would look no further for your support and guidance. Your professionalism, knowledge and enthusiasm shine through and I know we are in safe hands when you're involved.'"
Nigel Crutchley, Director CLM Group Manufacturing, Royal Bank of Scotland

“Thank you Beth. Sounds as if they are having many diverse experiences, so glad Lucy has had this opportunity. I feel sure this will be a real character developing experience for them all [and I] just wanted to show my appreciation to you all. Good luck with future projects.”
Julie Astell, Parent, Tonbridge Grammar Swaziland 2011

“A big well done to all the team for bringing a girl back high on the excitement of the adventure and very relaxed about the challenges around the adventure”.
Anne Wilkinson, Parent, Hurstpierpoint Malawi 2011

“Thank you so much for all your efforts on behalf of the Malawi group.  Katie had a really fantastic time - in her words "one of the best experiences of my life"! She has hardly "drawn breath" about the trip since she got back which is always a very positive sign.”
Sally Grainger, Parent, Hurstpierpoint Malawi 2011

"Just to say a huge thank you once more on behalf of all the team. I know even now that what we achieved is the talk of the town and that would not have been possible without you."
Ian Carter, Keynsham Explorer Scout Unit

"Without Beth, Karimu would not be a success. Her expert leadership and knowledge of developing countries has proved invaluable to our projects. Each year we bring twenty-five to thirty volunteers to Tanzania to work in the remote village of Bacho. Beth ensures that all volunteers are completely safe and well-prepared.  I am greatly impressed with Beth's inter-personal skills, attention to detail, and professional demeanor. I recommend her highly."
Marianne Kent-Stoll, Karimu Foundation

"A huge thank you for all your work in organising our trip to Malawi.  It was fantastically well organised, and I can only imagine the effort that went on behind the scenes to make everything run so smoothly. I can hand on heart say that it has been one of the most important experiences of my life, a real life-changing experience. I know that sounds terribly gushing, but it is true!"
Gemma Sykes, Team Member, Malawi Project 2010

"This has been an amazing experience that I will never forget, I have never worked so closely with a rural community and been able to gain an understanding into what their lives are like. Although we were only there for a short time, we completed something that will change people's lives for generations to come - this is an incredible feeling! 
It was great to be working so closely with a community group and to see a really physical difference between the start and finish of the project."
Alex Russell, Team Member, Kenya Project 2010

"Thank you again for all your help, work and support in making the project to Africa happen. The girls had an amazing time and it is not an experience we will forget in a hurry. Thank you for giving us all such a fantastic opportunity."
Ian McLaughlin, Pink Pandas Youth Group Leader, Swaziland 2009, Cambridgeshire County Council

“Beth helped me organise a trip to take a team of 12 people to Malawi in 2010 to help with building work on the site of a clinic. She was fantastic from start to finish - helping arrange all elements of the trip, providing advice and training and on the ground support when we got out there.” 
Andy Blades, Group Leader, Malawi 2010

“Our charity, in providing small and medium sized projects to rural communities in Malawi, rely heavily on the expedition organiser to provide a 100% service for our volunteers. Beth has never failed to deliver on our high expectations. I first met Beth as a volunteer myself and thus can vouch for her from both sides - solid committment, thoroughly dependable, totally unflappable and always a smile."
David Theriault, Chairman, Joshua Orphan and Community Care - Project Partner Malawi 

"In coordinating the travel and work schedules of the volunteers whom my nonprofit takes to East Africa every summer, Beth supplies honest, imaginative, and altogether excellent work at more than reasonable costs. Because she and her business, Inspire Worldwide, have provided services of far beyond satisfactory quality, I intend to use her and Inspire regularly for many years to come.” 
Don Stoll, Karimu Foundation, Tanzania Project 2009 & 2010

corporate saws"I wanted to thank you for all your work to make the trip happen, we had  a truly wonderful time and have spent the last week moaning on facebook about how much we miss Malawi and each other!  I just wanted to say a quick word about how brilliant our leaders were ( of course you know this but...) Andy and Gabby were always full of fun and laughter and were key to ensuring the group bonded as well as we did.They were incredibly patient, kind and thoughtful. In short I can't recommend them highly enough. The same is true of Inspire and Joshua. I feel extremely strongly about responsible sustainable development for communities and I feel I really experienced that in Khola. Just to warn you the group are already discussing a return visit and our next project!"
Caroline Brown, Team Member, Malawi project 2010

“Beth is able to generate real enthusiasm with teams and really does inspire them to do their very best. I worked with Beth as part of a project in Malawi. She took care of all the details, was able to adapt plans to meet requirements of the group and the local community. Beth is not only very personable but also a real professional and someone that you can trust. I would definitely recommend Beth and Inspire Worldwide.”
Rachel Blackamore, Royal Bank of Scotland, Malawi 2008 and 2010

"Beth is an enthusiastic, knowledgeable and dynamic person. I worked with Beth over a period of 2 years, first to develop a charitable school building project in Mozambique, and then also to send volunteers out to help build the project. Beth enabled us to identify the project and understand the practicalities of the project on-the-ground, it was obvious that she had been there, done that, and had the know-how to prove it! Beth was one of a small team that helped to drive the project forward, with such successful outcomes. Able to communicate to Trustees, Patrons, project managers, and staff volunteers alike, it was obvious to me that we had the right person for the job."
Mark Eisenegger, Scott Wilson Millennium Schools Project -Mozambique

''Beth was a tremendous help in planning the trip. With such a large group, there were a number of logistical and practical elements to consider, and Beth provided a fantastic level of support to the project team. Many thanks.''
Sheila MacDonald, Royal Bank of Scotland - Malawi

"Under Beth's leadership our group of volunteers found that when they arrived in Tanzania they were very well prepared. The volunteers had a full and enriching experience because Beth made sure that they understood the culture, customs, and geography of the area they were working in.  The program was well managed and highly organized so the volunteers felt cared for at all times.  In addition, all the leaders were full of enthusiasm.  They always kept the volunteers in good spirits. We are looking forward to next year's trip already!"
Marianne Kent-Stoll, Deputy Head, Georgiana Bruce Kirby School, Tanzania Project

"I attended a training/orientation course for volunteers travelling to Mozambique. The course was run by Beth and a colleague and was excellent. You could tell everything covered was based on personal experience which gave us great confidence in their advice. 
We left the day with a really good idea of what to expect, how best to cope with the new environment and, importantly, what to do in emergencies. The team building exercises were also great fun and really helped us bond together as a group.'"

Tom Horne, Scott Wilson Millennium Schools Project

“Beth has been a pleasure to work with. She is professional, works for win-win outcomes and has a keen interest in responsible travel.” 
Darron Raw, Owner and Managing Director, Swazi Trails

“Beth is a fantastic person to work with and has a great ability to form relationships across sectors and organisations. She also has an incredible ability to make things happen. I would recommend her unreservedly.” 
Will Snell, Director, Skills Venture

“Beth's dedication to volunteer funded community development programmes is the driving force behind their success. The trips which Beth managed during my employment, were sustainable, demand driven programmes which (rarely for this sector), deliver tangible, sustainable long term benefits for host communities while providing an honest, focused, eye opening, life affecting experience for the volunteers from all age ranges and backgrounds.  I would thoroughly recommend Beth and her business venture, Inspire Worldwide.”
David Wright, Project and Expedition Leader
