love and care

Sessions to develop improved English and Maths skills - and help gappies to build their confidence.

and First Mate

Each group of ten young people is supported by their own Skipper (Project Lead) and First Mate (Welfare Officer), who are there to provide support, structure and encouragement throughout the programme.

Bound

As leaders in their field, Outward Bound provides unrivalled, supported challenges and adventures that stretch limits and discover potential.
