Schools or youth groups can apply for financial support to help young people from across the UK access outdoor education programmes run by The Outward Bound Trust.

The Adventure Fund offers bursaries that can cover up to 40% of course fees, aiming to remove financial barriers to participation.

The funding supports young people aged 11–24 who are UK residents and in full-time education.

Applications are open to both individuals and organisations, with priority given to those facing financial hardship or disadvantage.

Each year, Outward Bound raises approximately £3.2 million to help thousands of young people build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills through challenging residential courses in wild natural settings.

Early application is encouraged as the funding is limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
