Over 80 trusts and foundations annually, of all sizes and interests, support our work with young people. Grants from these trusts and foundations enable over 1,900 young people a year, from underprivileged backgrounds and from across the UK, to benefit from an Outward Bound course.
These young people, aged 9-24, leave our courses with improved confidence and resilience, which for many, translates to greater engagement with, and success in learning. When it comes to points of transition in their lives, our courses leave young people better prepared to achieve their goals and enable them to develop the independence and ability to flourish in new environments.
We are delighted to have the support this year of over 80 trusts and foundations which include:
In the academic year 2019, over 25,000 young people completed an Outward Bound course, over two thirds of whom would not have been able to without the financial support of our donors.
Aside from the £3m 'bursary' funds required annually to support Outward Bound courses for underprivileged young people, we also seek funds to support a major refurbishment of facilities at our Loch Eil centre which will ensure we can continue to deliver high quality courses there, and to support our plans to reach more young people through the acquisition of an additional residential centre.
Tori had been anxious about going back to school after lock down and national restrictions, but, with the help of Outward Bound, has rediscovered her confidence and her anxiety has diminished: “It’s made me see the bigger picture and see that maybe the world isn’t all that bad. Outward Bound taught me to really see the beauty in nature, and there are incredible parts of the world out there; and nice people who will help you to be you.”
When you support us, you enable young people to benefit from our programmes, regardless of their circumstances.
Make a grant to us - contribute to our general bursary fund, which enables socially and economically underprivileged young people to benefit from one of our programmes.
Provide project funding - support the refurbishment of our Loch Eil centre or the acquisition of an additional residential centre.
