Transforming potential into possibility
Training, research and consultancy for the outdoor, leisure, and tourism sectors
At Bendrigg, we make adventure accessible, working together to overcome barriers and transform lives. We understand how being in the outdoors and nature can have a profound impact on people’s health and wellbeing and we want to share our knowledge and skills to help make the outdoors more inclusive.
Though our new programme, “Beyond Bendrigg”, we can help you make your activities more inclusive and increase your confidence when working with disabled people. Our training and consultancy are based on over 45 years’ experience of delivering outdoor adventures to disabled people and our programmes are grounded in practical knowledge, current research and the experiences of disabled people themselves.
Whether you are an individual looking to increase your skills, or you work or volunteer for an organisation that wants to be more inclusive, we can help.

Training for individuals
