Action4Youth’s outdoor learning centre in Milton Keynes provides a range of adventure activities for young people that caters for their additional needs or disability.

The Buckinghamshire-based charity, which has operated the Caldecotte Xperience since 2012, says its activity programme delivers both personal and educational benefits to the more than 12,000 young people from education and youth settings that attend each year.

Most of the adventure sessions offered are accessible to those with disabilities and complex needs. To facilitate this, the charity employs staff trained to work with young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and provides specialist equipment that allows them to safely participate in outdoor adventures.
