You know what time in the wild can do.

The confidence. The resilience. The sense of possibility that stays with you.

This year, we’re aiming to raise a total of £500,000 from our Outward Bound community to give 1,000 young people a summer that will stay with them for life by attending one of our pioneering 5 to 19-day courses in July or August 2026.

You’ve felt the challenge, the camaraderie, and that moment when something shifts – when you realise that you’re capable of more than you thought.

This summer, a new generation of young people are ready for that same experience.

You’ve seen what Outward Bound can do. 

Now you can help make it possible for someone else. You can help create an experience that will stay with a young person forever, as it did for Arianna.
