Charity work:

Global Angels, a UK charity which seeks to aid children around the world, were the beneficiaries of his 2007 accomplishment of taking a powered paraglider higher than Mount Everest. Grylls' held the highest ever dinner party at 7,600 meters (25,000 ft) in aid of The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, and launched the 50th anniversary of the Awards. His successful circumnavigation of Britain on jet skis raised money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

Grylls' Everest climb was in aid of SSAFA Forces Help, a British-based charitable organization set up to help former and serving members of the British Armed Forces and their families and dependents. His 2003 Arctic expedition detailed in the book Facing the Frozen Ocean was in aid of The Prince's Trust. His 2005 attempt to paramotor over the Angel Falls was in aid of the charity Hope and Homes for Children.

In August 2010, Grylls continued his fund-raising work for Global Angels by undertaking an expedition through the Northwest Passage in a rigid inflatable boat. Many of his expeditions also support environmental causes such as his Antarctica expedition and his circumnavigation of Britain which tested a pioneering new fuel made from rubbish.

Following the incident, he appeared on New Zealand advertisements encouraging people to donate money to help rebuild the city.

Grylls is also an ambassador for Care for Children, an organization that partners with governments in Asia to help create a positive alternative to institutional care through local family-based care for disadvantaged children.

He wants to take Trump into the wild:

Grylls suffered a recent setback when ITV decided not to renew his celebrity survival show Mission Survive, but the channel later released a statement assuring fans of the survivalist that they have "a number of projects with Bear in the pipeline." Grylls still has both the British and American versions of The Island to concentrate on as well as the UK kids show Survival School, though a recent Radio Times interview with the presenter revealed that he is keen to lead another Presidential adventure in the wild. It's been two years since Barack Obama took part in a special episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls, and when asked if he would be interested in taking the current inhabitant of the White House on a similar trek, he issued what seemed like a challenge to Donald Trump.

"It would be amazing. Of course," Grylls said when pressed about Trump. "And, there's no doubting he's tenacious. Obama liked stepping out of his comfort zone, and that attitude is good in the wild. He told me it was one of the best days of his presidency. But I don't know… Donald Trump is a person who likes to be king and the one thing I've learnt in the wild is you're never the king. You've got to learn to put the crown down. I'm actually on the same network, NBC, as The Apprentice. But I kind of hope he's got more important things to do than to go on an adventure with me." The Donald has yet to reply, but we're expecting a Tweet any day now. Whether this potentially classic bit of television happens or not, it is safe to say that Grylls isn't going to be leaving our screens any time soon—it seems that his years of experience have taught him how to survive in show business just as well as he can in the wild.
