Who We Are
Lindley Educational Trust is an educational charity dedicated to helping children and young people thrive.
For over 60 years, Lindley Educational Trust has helped young people build confidence, resilience, leadership, and essential skills for life through transformational experiences in the outdoors and within their communities.
Through high-quality outdoor learning, youth work and personal development programmes, we create opportunities for challenge, growth and belonging. We deliver authentic adventures in natural environments that inspire young people to aim higher and achieve more.
Whether through a school residential, youth programme, apprenticeship development experience or community project, our goal remains the same:
To empower children and young people to realise their full potential and have a positive impact in the world around them.
