CHANGE LIVES THROUGH THE POWER OF THE OUTDOORS
In today’s increasingly complex and turbulent world, young people across the UK are experiencing huge and unprecedented challenges. The pandemic and cost of living crisis have taken a dangerous toll.
- 40% feel a sense of helplessness and loss of control.
- 2.7 million young people aged 14-24 live in poverty.
- Young people are in front of screens for an average of seven hours a day, spending less than an hour outdoors. This is less than our prison population.
At Outward Bound, we use the UK’s wildest rivers, lakes, mountains, and seas to take young people on a physical and emotional journey and realise what they are truly capable of.
We teach the next generation to respond positively to challenges, take personal responsibility, evaluate risk and work effectively with others. Our work changes lives.
