Lindley Educational Trust is a well established and successful charity, working across the UK with young people from all sectors of society, providing personal and team development programmes designed to build confidence and self esteem particularly for those disadvantaged or at risk. Our intention is to be recognised as a centre of excellence for young people.  

Our mission 

is to release and empower people to develop individual strengths, create positive relationships and construct effective work systems and cultures which add to the well being of society.

The aim of Lindley Educational Trust is to ensure that young people, regardless of background, race, sex, religion, ethnic origin, disadvantage or disability, are provided with the tools and the confidence to reach their full potential throughout life.

Our values are

  • The provision of inspiring experiences which renew the life of the individual
  • Affirming the value and potential of every individual
  • Raising the aspirations of young people
  • The conscious aim to direct our service towards the most vulnerable members of society
  • Demonstrating and promoting the values which lead to team work
  • The provision of a centre which promotes excellence in the field of outdoor education
  • Our care for and celebration of the environment

The majority of the Trust’s work takes place at the Hollowford Centre, a residential and day centre ideally situated in the heart of Derbyshire’s Peak District National Park, being within 1 hour of Sheffield, Manchester, Stoke, Nottingham and Leeds, with extensive resources on site and within easy reach of further challenging outdoor activities
