Enabling people with disabilities from all walks of life, to benefit from the 'Bendrigg Experience' - social inclusion, inclusive adventure and residential experience. Without this financial aid, our visitors would simply not be able to benefit from these life-enhancing experiences.

Situation
People with a disability or encountering social disadvantage face multiple barriers to reaching their full potential and being all they can be in a fully inclusive society. Whilst 81% of disabled people would like to be more active, 86% of families with a disabled child go without leisure activities. An individual's financial situation should not be a barrier to them taking part in activities that could enhance their lives.
Solution
It's important to us that our courses are accessible to all regardless of financial or social disadvantage. The Bendrigg Bursary enables socially & economically underprivileged people with disabilities to benefit from social inclusion, residential experiences and inclusive adventure. This was important before Coronavirus but with evidence showing disabled people's lives have been hardest hit by Covid-19, it is now more important than ever.
