How we help young people

We support young people between the ages of 13 and 24, who live in Lancashire. Both able-bodied and those with special needs are eligible to be nominated for an Outward Bound® course and receive the assistance of the association. Many go as individuals, but an idea pioneered in Lancashire is the organisation of groups of students with special needs who are integrated with able-bodied young people from their own community.
