About Us

Welcome to ProAdventure®, the outdoor shop owned and run by an outdoor centre. We only stock products that we recommend and are happy to use. This doesn't mean every thing is expensive, but good value and worth buying. We also carry equipment for the novice that should last long enough that if it wears out it will be time for you to buy something better as by then, you will know you are going to get good value for money by investing in a quality replacement.

At ProAdventure we want to do more than help you enjoy nature, so we have chosen to put something back. We are now a contracted member of www.onepercentfortheplanet.org, which commits us to giving one percent of our entire turnover to environmental charities and not-for-profit organisations. Current projects are run by the charity that we fund Llangollen and Dee Valley Low Carbon Trust, and include a local hydro electric generation project and a carbon reduction schem for small businesses in rural Denbighshire. In the first year the money went to tree planting products in Asia which will more than offset our emissions. To plant some yourself please go to http://www.plant-a-tree-today.org/ but don't forget to do all you can to minimise your carbon footprint too. Beyond the tree planting we will give to local environmental and conservation work.

Why one percent of turnover? A percentage of profits would be easily manipulated, so the founders of one percent for the planet decided on one percent of the turnover. Even if we make a loss the environment will still be a little better for your help through booking or buying with ProAdventure.

In addition to this we are assessed for the Welsh Green Dragon Scheme for environmentally responsible business.

So spend a hundred pounds with us and know that after the tax man has had his slice for VAT that at least 85p will be spent on the environment.
