On 6 May 2024, history was made with The Big Rappel - the first-ever rope descent of the world’s most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building in New York City, raising over $3 million to enable young people worldwide to experience the amazing power of Outward Bound. HRH Princess Beatrice, Trustee of The Outward Bound Trust, joined us on the ground in NYC to support and shine a spotlight on this momentous event, appearing on live TV and lighting up the iconic tower in our signature colours to mark the successful descent by all 23 abseilers. This week, the Princess hosted an evening for everyone involved in The Big Rappel to come together once again and reflect on their incredible achievement, and its lasting impact on young lives across the globe. You can learn more about the groundbreaking impact of The Big Rappel in our new report: https://bit.ly/3XUwLCW OUTWARD BOUND INTERNATIONAL Outward Bound USA NYC Outward Bound Schools Empire State Building Empire State Realty Trust

🎵 "𝘐 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘢𝘺 𝘐 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶..." Well, kind of. We are dialling up the gratitude today with our Alumni Thankathon! ☎️ With a little help from our friends at Sustainable Advantage, we're reaching out to our fantastic alumni network — not to sing (thankfully), but to hear their inspiring stories and show our appreciation for their continued support. As a charity that’s been empowering young people since 1941, we’re privileged to connect with alumni across generations. While times have changed, both in the world and Outward Bound, the heart of every story we hear remains the same: their course was transformative, unforgettable, and something they believe every young person should experience.

̷M̷o̷u̷n̷t̷ ̷K̷i̷l̷i̷m̷a̷n̷j̷a̷r̷o̷ 🖊 Guy Williams and Alistair McAuley can now cross Africa's highest peak off their bucket list. They summited it last week, in a stroke of luck after battling poor conditions, reaching the top in time to catch a spectacular sunrise. Climbing Kilimanjaro isn’t for the faint-hearted—with altitude and freezing temperatures in the mix—but their success proves that with the right mindset, strong teamwork, and resilience, incredible things happen. Flying our flag (both literally and figuratively), this adventure couldn’t be more 'Outward Bound'! And thanks to the funds raised, many young people will have their own experience of conquering something big, pushing their limits, and discovering what they can achieve—just like Guy and Alistair.
