Welcome, We Are
Brathay Trust
Since 1946 Brathay has been inspiring young people to build their own brighter futures. We work with young people from across the UK, from their school years through to their early careers.
As many will testify from their own experience, Brathay’s distinctiveness comes from several sources – it is more than just the place, the people, and its values. While all the dimensions of Brathay’s distinctiveness may be hard to name completely, those that stand out are:
- History
- Purpose
- Ethos and Values
- People
- Place
- Approach
Brathay is a special place, and the young people we support could go on to become our leaders, innovators, and change-makers of the future. Their resilience and skill will help shape our future society.
Teresa Jennings, Chief Executive
We deliver experiential residential programmes to young people from across the UK at our dedicated centre in the heart of the Lake District, in addition to working within community settings in Bradford and Cumbria. This blended approach of residentials and community-based programmes is unique to Brathay.
Our Impact
Brathay supports over 7,000 young people each year, inspiring growth and positive change that lasts a lifetime. With our robust evaluation framework, we can see just how impactful our programmes are, making sure we keep delivering the best support and lasting benefits.
