Had you ever attended Outward Bound course before?

I had attended similar courses through school and thought that I had stretched myself to my limit but the OB course made me realise I could achieve so much more than I had given myself credit for and it opened up opportunities that I hadn’t considered or thought possible.

What were the highlights for you?

As with Bailey, I met new and interesting people that I have kept in touch with since.

What are the main things you can take from the experience?

I feel more confident and can take this confidence forward and continue with youth work.  The effect of the pandemic on young people was especially relevant on this course.  Everyone has felt so isolated during the last two years and this course was so beneficial in taking me out of my comfort zone whilst learning and gaining support from others in exactly the same position and mindset.  It was amazingly confidence boosting.   OB course gave everyone more confidence and ability to interact and achieve.

Plans for the future

To continue with work in the Community and to take my experience forward into the workplace.

Thank you so much to the Trustees of the Warwick Apprenticing Charity for the opportunity to attend such a life-changing and life-enhancing course.
