Ackers Adventure is a charitable company with a rich history spanning several decades. Established in 1981 As the Ackers Trust, it originated as a small community project in Birmingham. Initially focused on providing outdoor activities for local youth, the organization gradually expanded its offerings and grew in popularity. Over the years, Ackers Adventure evolved into a prominent provider of outdoor adventure and recreational activities for people of all ages and abilities. With a mission to make outdoor experiences accessible to everyone, we have successfully impacted countless lives through our inclusive programmes. Ackers Adventure continues to thrive, inspiring individuals and communities to connect with nature and embrace the joy of outdoor pursuits.
Our primary goal is to promote physical and mental well-being through outdoor pursuits, aiming to create a positive impact on individuals and communities. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to engage in outdoor activities, regardless of their background or ability. With a strong focus on inclusivity, the charity actively works to break down barriers and provide equal access to outdoor adventures for people with disabilities, young people facing challenges, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The organization offers a wide range of thrilling activities and outdoor experiences, including canoeing, kayaking, skiing, snowboarding, climbing, archery, and more. These activities are facilitated by a team of experienced and qualified instructors who ensure the safety and enjoyment of all participants. The charity’s well-maintained and accessible facilities, including ski slopes, climbing walls, and waterways, provide a conducive environment for individuals to develop their skills and confidence.
We operate on a not-for-profit basis, with any surplus funds generated from activities and donations being reinvested back into the charity’s operations and initiatives. This ensures the sustainability and continual growth of our programmes, enabling them to reach a wider audience and make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals in the community.
