Help us to empower young people
We believe that every young person has so much unique potential. And that every young person deserves the support, experiences and opportunities to discover it.
Our Programme blends the power of outdoor adventure with transformative relationships and compassionate coaching, empowering young people to discover a whole new world of possibility for their future.
It is thanks to our generous supporters that we can provide our transformational programme which empowers young people across Leeds to thrive. As a young charity, we rely on support from individuals, grant makers and communities to deliver our programme to young people who will benefit from it free of charge.
If you are a charitable trust, grant-giving organisation, or community group we would love to hear from you.
Trusts, foundations and community funders are integral to our funding and we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without them.
Our Supporters

Measurable outcomes
We collect feedback and measure changes in confidence, resilience, relationships and aspirations.
Local Impact
Your funding directly support young people and communities across Leeds and Yorkshire.
We’re growing…
…and so is the need for our work. We’ve grown significantly since our first year to develop our programme, operation and organisational capacity.
Strong partnerships
We work closely with schools, volunteers and professional networks to maximise our impact
Why it matters
Across Leeds, too many young people are growing up without the opportunities and experiences that can open their eyes to what’s possible - making it harder to discover their strengths, realise their potential and imagine a future beyond what they know.
One in three families lives in poverty.
Around 17,500 children and young people are estimated to be experiencing a probable mental health condition.
More than 1,000 young people are not currently in education, employment or training.
Thousands of children need additional educational support to reach their potential.
With your support, we can change this.

MEET Hayley
“Basecamp has been a completely life changing experience for me. Before, I was so quiet and didn’t even choose to do things I really enjoyed but Basecamp taught me that I can do anything if I just believe in myself.
The more time I spent with Basecamp, the more I felt strong and the more confident I became.”
