Manchester Unlimited

Absolutely! Providing you're aged 11-19 and live in the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, anyone can apply.

It doesn't matter where you're at in life or where you're going - Manchester Unlimited is for you. Applications are assessed based on your appetite for adventure and determination to overcome whatever is holding you back in life.

That means if you're living in Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan you can apply.

The Outward Bound Trust are proud members of Greater Manchester Youth network.

If you live outside of those areas check out our Summer Adventures and Adventure Fund pages for other ways to get involved.

An Outward Bound summer adventure is unlike any other summer experience in the country.

First things first, it's not about quad biking, archery or other in-grounds activities. We believe learning about yourself happens best out in the wild, away from the distractions of everyday life. That's why on Outward Bound you'll go on a breath-taking journey across land and water, amid some of the UK's most spectacular places, with the most amazing people by your side.

Our adventures run from the end of June, throughout July and August to the start of September. We have several course types to choose from ranging from short 5-day adventures to full-blown 19-day expeditions. The start date, location and course type is up to you.

Whatever you choose a summer adventure will give you the confidence to tackle the real world head on.

Our 5-day adventures are £499, 7-day £699, 14-day £1399 and 19-day adventures are £1,900.

But here's the deal: To you, the wonderful people of Greater Manchester, it can be less - potentially much less. You just have to let us know why you need the our support.

Manchester Unlimited is all about defying limitations, whether they be financial or otherwise we want to know about it in your application.

Funding is limited and may be restricted to specific dates so we recommend that you apply as early as possible.

Our adventures are all-inclusive, we can also provide a coach transfer service from Manchester Piccadilly to our Aberdovey centre for £50 (For the full list of pick up points and centres click here).

If money is not a limiting factor you can also sign up directly by applying directly on our Summer Adventures page.
