The Trust receives no direct government funding. 

We charge fees for our courses, based on our operational overheads, which not only include our staffing costs but also maintenance and gear replacement. 

Participants are expected to actively fundraise within their local communities. Many community and service organisations provide financial assistance to help with the cost of a course. 

We have a 3 step strategy of "self, community, and Outward Bound" (see our Fundraising Guide), however did you know that approximately 60% of all Outward Bound participants need support? 

This is where you can help.

What do we need support for?
