Outward Bound Trust & Burberry partner to inspire teens through adventure
The Outward Bound Trust is joining forces with Burberry to give secondary school students across the UK greater access to outdoor learning and inspire young people through adventure. Forming part of the brand’s Burberry Inspire programme, the partnership will enable students aged 10-18 to join the Trust’s outdoor challenges at minimal cost to families. The initiative will focus on schools in London, Leeds, Castleford and Keighley – regions connected to Burberry’s heritage.
The outdoor challenges consist of a range of activities, including hiking, abseiling, canoeing and overnight expeditions. Designed with personal development at heart, each activity takes the participants out of their comfort zone and aims to empower them to become stronger, more resilient, curious and ready for the challenges of life. As part of the partnership, Burberry colleagues will also be able to volunteer their time to mentor participants, encouraging their own growth and development.
