A well established and successful charity, working with young people from across the UK. Lindley operates two outdoor activity centres in the Peak District together with a wide range of activities including rock climbing, caving, canoeing, problem solving and team building that help build self-confidence and self-esteem.

At Lindley we believe our outdoor education and personal and social development programs can make a difference to the lives of the young people with whom we work. Our individually designed programs are designed to challenge and inspire.

As part of its charitable objective Lindley aims to work with those from disadvantaged and deprived backgrounds.We are particularly proud of our Corporate Social Responsibility programs; for example, a group of graduates organize a 3-day residential for a group of inner city primary school pupils. This is part of their wider graduate development package; the graduates get to work on a real project with real people and the school gets a quality outdoor education experience.
