Outward Bound Associations

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.
