Committed to Community

  • The King’s Trust

    Stewart Towe has previously been a Patron of the Prince’s Trust, and Hadley Group has continued to support the (now) King’s Trust for many years and played a key role in encouraging the Trust to expand by establishing a center in Digbeth, Birmingham.

  • The Outward Bound Trust

    Hadley Group has proudly supported the Outward Bound Trust in its mission to inspire young people to realize their potential through outdoor learning and adventure. Together we have partnered with local schools to teach young people one of the most important lessons they can learn: to believe in themselves.

    We ensure that financial limitations do not prevent anyone from attending our programs. Over 80% of participants receive funding to take part in courses designed to empower all young people to succeed: for themselves, their communities, and society.
