Company
The Outward Bound Trust is a leading educational charity providing adventure-based outdoor learning for young people of all backgrounds.
Founded over 70 years ago, we now have six residential centres across the UK, all located in wild and inspirational environments. We work with upwards of 25,000 young people each year, on residential courses that last from 3 to 19 days, with a large proportion receiving bursaries from The Trust to enable them to participate. We welcome and work with young people who are either in education or the early stages of their employment, and as such work nationally with a wide variety of client groups, including many schools and colleges as well as well-known corporate employers. Equally important are our donor relationships with individual and corporate supporters, who are essential to the success, viability and growth of the organisation.
We believe that The Trust has a unique and privileged position in the outdoor learning sector, given the quality of the programmes we offer, the inspiring and challenging environments that we operate in, the expertise and qualifications of our instructors, and most importantly, the proven impact and outcomes we are able to deliver for young people.
