Stories from the Outward Bound family
Alex. Outward Bound Instructor
I’m an instructor at Outward Bound Ullswater. Outside work, I also volunteer for the Lancaster Area Search and Rescue.

As part of that team, I am currently assisting Morecambe Bay Foodbank with their COVID-19 response and delivering food to those who need it most during this time. Deliveries have been to a complete mix of people from all walks of life. From those who simply cannot afford food - refugees, the elderly, people without a pay check last month; to those self-isolating for their safety. Each delivery is incredibly rewarding. As instructors we can still make a difference to those who need us the most at the moment, whether that’s in the mountains or not.
