Àban - Adventure Learning Community
Àban is a Highland outdoor education charity and award winning social enterprise.
We're changing lives through the power of outdoor adventure.
To support our work, why not join our thousands of satisfied customers at Scotland's only dedicated outdoor kit charity shop, take part in our famous Kessock Ferry Swim, or sign up your kids for our holiday camps. There's something for everyone - and all funds raised make our charitable work possible.
