Make a donation onlineA bit about Ravenglass...
Ravenglass was blended especially by Hawkridge Distillers for The Outward Bound Trust.
Only 80 bottles of Ravenglass gin have been made – to signify the 80 years since Outward Bound was founded in 1941. It was made and sent to you by Hawrkridge themselves, at no cost to the charity.
The gin celebrates the rivers, mountains and awe inspiring skies of Snowdonia, The Lake District and The Scottish Highlands, where Outward Bound’s important work takes place. Rich hillside flora and fauna found in in these locations have inspired a truly unique taste. Juniper leads to subtle floral notes of lavender, wild blackcurrant and rose, followed by citrus and a dash of honey.

We named it Ravenglass, after a small coastal village in the Lake District National Park, situated close to Outward Bound’s Eskdale centre. Ravenglass is believed to have Welsh, Gaelic and Norse origins, meaning 'the green or blue river'.
Hawkridge DistillersOur 80th anniversary year
As you will have read when receiving your bottle of Ravenglass, Outward Bound was founded in 1941 in direct response to the challenges Britain faced in the greatest battle for its life. Since then over 1.2 million people in this country have benefitted from an Outward Bound programme.
Once again, we find ourselves facing adversity. Although our work in centres was curtailed in March, we were determined to continue supporting young people. In August we offered Adventure Days from our centres and as the autumn school term has unfolded, our instructors have hit the road to deliver the power of learning and adventure to young people in their schools. Helping to develop the skills they need to face an ever-changing world..
Outward Bound stands today, not just as a successful organisation, but as a symbol of what can be accomplished when people work together to overcome adversity and achieve the impossible. Outward Bound represents what can happen when challenge and doubt are met with resilience, imagination, and belief.


Meeting challenge, with resilience, imagination and belief

Together we are Outward Bound
