Our programmes
Our range of carefully designed programmes are tailored to enable participants make and sustain positive changes in their lives.
All of our programmes follow a broad three-phase journey of outreach support, intensive wilderness experience, then ongoing 'community links' support. You can read about a typical journey on our about us pages.

Measuring impact
Measuring the outcomes and impact of our programmes is really important to us - both to act as a record of achievement for our participants and to help us to refine and improve our programmes. We regularly commission external evaluations to support and enhance our in-house monitoring - you'll find details of these under specific programmes, and in our news section.
