Maddie France from Team Blossom went on an Outward Bound Course in the Summer of 1995. She climbed, hiked and camped her way to becoming who she is. Together with a team of women in the Wakefield business community, friends, and allies who want to pass the baton on and empower the next generation, we are going on an epic 22 mile hike along Edale Skyline on Saturday 1st March 2025.

Whilst we complete this challenge, we would like to raise money for The Outward Bound Trust to help young women from West Yorkshire to benefit from spending time outdoors; with emphasis on improved health and well-being, both physical and mental.

Outward Bound also utilises the great outdoors to encourage social interaction and positive experiences outside. Surprisingly, the average child spends just 4 hours a week outside, this is half the amount time than that of the previous generation. With your help, by supporting The Outward Bound trust I hope to transform some young peoples lives.

Thank you so much for supporting our team and for helping to make a difference to the lives of the young women from Wakefield who go Outward Bound!
