Fairbridge is a national youth charity that employs 250 staff in 15 teams and 2 offices across the UK (from Dundee to Southampton, Swansea to Kent)

Thousands of young people have given up hope. Outside education, training and employment, they see no future for themselves. We help them to think differently. Using a unique combination of long-term personal support and challenging activities such as canoeing, climbing, mountain biking hill walking and creative activities we enable young people to build the self-belief, and develop the personal and social skills they need to change their lives.
