With the support of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Gloucestershire, the next Outward Bound (bursary funded) course will run from the 13 to 17 of February 2023 at Ogwen Cottage, Snowdonia, Wales.
The aim of the Outward Bound Bursary is to provide an opportunity for young people to develop their potential and to recognise the positive contribution many of them make to their communities.
The Association and the Constabulary are committed to promoting equality and diversity, nominations should include young people:
Please note the course is not designed to reward offending or be seen as part of a diversion programme.
This year 24 places are available, and you are invited to submit nominations, using the forms below. You may nominate more than one young person, though if you submit multiple nominations please place them in order of preference.
We endeavour to take as many young people as possible but the applicants will be selected for participation - in previous years over 45 nominations were received.
The young person will need to be prepared to take part in adventurous and sometimes strenuous activities and make new friends as they may be the only one selected to take part from a particular setting.
There is no cost implication for the young person. All food and specialist clothing / equipment is provided.
For further information about the courses, please visit The Outward Bound Education Homepage.
