Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision
A world where every child and young person can realise their full potential and have a positive impact on their communities and the wider world.
We want children and young people to have access to opportunities that broaden their horizons, help them discover what they are capable of and enable them to look to the future with confidence.
Regardless of background or circumstance, every young person should have the opportunity to experience challenge, adventure, belonging and achievement.
Our Mission
To create opportunities and experiences that unlock potential and inspire futures.
Lindley Educational Trust uses high-quality outdoor learning, authentic adventure, youth work and personal development to create opportunities for children and young people to learn, grow and thrive.
We combine challenge with support, creating environments where young people can explore their capabilities, develop through experience and take their learning into everyday life.
For those facing disadvantage or barriers to opportunity, we work particularly hard to ensure those experiences are accessible.
Everything we do is designed to help young people:
Our Values
Our values guide how we work, the experiences we create and the difference we want to make for children and young people.
Igniting Aspiration

Accessible for all
We work to remove barriers so that everyone can benefit from our opportunities, with a particular commitment to those who need our support most.
