About The Outward Bound Trust

The Outward Bound Trust is an educational charity providing personal development courses through challenging outdoor adventures. It is the originator and leading facilitator of experiential learning in the outdoors. The Trust was initially established to ensure a greater chance of survival for young merchant seamen during WW2. Today, the Trust works predominantly with young people.

The Trust aims to inspire young people to realise their potential through experiences in the outdoors - helping challenge themselves, overcome their fears and emerge from their experience with a new-found belief in themselves.
