Working with disaffected, vulnerable children to reshape their attitude to education
You can support our work by joining us on our fundraising adventures

Welcome

At My Big Adventure we pride ourselves in our ability to use the outdoors therapeutically through adventurous activities. Using a Solution-Focused model we skilfully blend, coaching, counselling and alternative-education with adventure activities to design activities and experiences that can help change our clients towards a preferred future. Our approach has proven successful and we are extremely proud of our good work.

Since 1988 our passion has been helping people get the best out of themselves: Especially those who might otherwise have few chances to discover the joy of achievement and who are at risk of reaching adult life unaware of their potential.

Our core work is with disaffected young people who are usually not attending school and for whom education, skills, knowledge and learning have little significance. Every thing we do supports our core work and we support this work by providing adventure-based training and activities to other organisations, social groups and individuals. These supporting activities include management training, instructor training, family activity camps and adventure activities for small groups. To learn more please go to the ‘services’ page.

Case Study

The naughtiest boy in year 9.
Can you do something with him?

'R was a bright but disaffected pupil at risk, lacking direction and an outlet for his considerable energy. R joined me for a week's residential work experience and consequently took up rock climbing, something he then developed to winning competitions and climbing at an international standard.

Channeling his talents for positive outcomes has led R to considerable successes in life including a place at Oxford University.'
