From our archive: In 2019, Virgin Balloon Flights supported The Outward Bound Trust for the second year running.

We shared the charity's love of the outdoors and admired its work helping young people from different backgrounds develop their potential.

Founded in 1941 by Kurt Hahn and Lawrence Holt in Aberdovey, Wales, the organisation was initially set up to provide young seamen with the necessary skills to survive the harsh conditions at sea.

By organising outdoor adventures with schools and youth groups, the Trust helped young people build confidence, resilience and self-belief.

We were proud to support that work and to share the story of our partnership.
