02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Hebridean Pursuits is a charity based in the Scottish Highlands. Our mission is simple: to help young people grow, and to give them the chance to achieve more than they ever thought possible — whatever their background. We run year-round outdoor learning adventures across Scotland’s wild coasts and mountains with activities including mountaineering, coasteering, climbing, and canyoning. We support young people to connect with the outdoors in ways they haven't previously. For many of the young people we work with, especially those facing disadvantage and challenges, these experiences are life-changing: they build confidence, resilience and a sense of belonging that lasts long after they’ve gone home. Activities are more than personal adventure, they are about personal growth
