Supporting Young People
Outward Bound Associations (OBAs) help to fund our courses for deserving individuals.
The Trust has regional OBAs throughout the UK, set up to help young people experience a life-changing Outward Bound course.
They're run by groups of volunteers, many of whom have had their lives shaped by their experiences with The Trust. They have a wide representation from local schools, youth services, police and other interested organisations.
If you'd like to help your local Outward Bound Association or make a donation that will help young people in your area, please call 01931 740000.
