Story
The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity that uses the outdoors to help develop young people from all walks of life. Through the generosity of our donors, we are able to run adventurous and challenging outdoor learning courses that equip young people with valuable skills for education, work and life. We help them become more confident, more effective and more capable at school, college and in the workplace.
We also work with organisations from across the UK to deliver behavioural development programmes for their apprentices, graduates and early careers talent.
All of our courses inspire and motivate young people and take place in the natural environment, away from distractions or modern amenities. Participants learn a deep appreciation of the balance between risk, reward and responsibility and leave our courses with transferrable, essential life skills, including:
- Setting and achieving goals
- Listening and communicating effectively
- Facing a challenge with determination
- Cooperation and collaboration
- Maintaining a positive outlook, even when things get tough
- Effective leadership skills.
These skills have been shown to have a profound impact on the future success of individuals in both education and employment, and on their overall wellbeing.
