What is Brathay?

Brathay offers people development and leadership coaching for businesses and organisations; outdoor residentials for community groups and schools, and holiday accommodation and challenge events for the public.

Each runs as part of our social enterprise aiming to enhance wellbeing and create long-lasting personal change. Any surplus income generated is used to fund life-changing programmes for children, young people and families facing challenges in their lives.

Everything we do exists to support our charity; working together as One Brathay.
