Adventures away from home fund at Avon Tyrrell – outdoor learning day visits and residentials.
Adventures Away from Home Fund
UK Youth is delighted to announce the next phase of the Adventures Away from Home fund, made possible thanks to further funding from the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport.
Adventures Away from Home aims to foster the social and emotional development of young people aged 11–18 – and up to 25 for those with special educational needs and disabilities – by providing fully funded bursaries for young people who face barriers to participation.
This programme is available at Avon Tyrrell and offers outdoor learning opportunities that encourages participants to experience, learn and develop while also connecting with others and the natural environment
Applications close on the 3rd December at 11am with dates for residential and day visits available between January to March 2025.
Adventures Away from Home
The Programme
You can take part in a fully funded experience of the Adventures Away from Home Programme, here at Avon Tyrrell. Choose from either a day visit or a 2-night residential outdoor learning experience. Our skilled and dedicated instructors will work with your group to build their confidence through outdoor learning challenges. We believe in the philosophy of ‘challenge by choice’ where your group are encouraged to work towards their own goals and are rewarded for their achievements.
Here is a sample programme, which will give you an idea of what to expect.
No matter if you are a day visit or residential – catering is included. Day visits will have a hot lunch provided and residentials will have a hot cooked meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We are able to cater to a variety of dietary requirements with allergens listed for each meal.
