Commissioned Work

Bringing people together through Mountain Biking

Boundless Trails works with charities, community organisations, schools, public services and businesses to design and deliver bespoke mountain biking experiences and programmes across Moray and beyond.

From community wellbeing programmes and youth projects to corporate team experiences, we create opportunities for people to get outdoors, connect with others, build confidence and experience the simple joy of riding a bike.

Programmes can range from a one-off experience to a series of progressive sessions and are designed around the people taking part.

What We Offer

Community & Wellbeing Programmes

Mountain biking can be a powerful way to bring people together, improve confidence and support physical and mental wellbeing.

We work with charities, community organisations and public services to create inclusive, supportive programmes for the people and communities they work with.

Sessions can be designed around specific groups, outcomes or needs, from a single introductory experience to a longer programme that allows participants to develop their confidence and skills over time.

Youth Programmes

Give young people the opportunity to explore, develop new skills and experience the outdoors through mountain biking.

Our youth programmes are supportive, progressive and, most importantly, fun.

We can work with schools, youth organisations and community groups to create one-off activity days or multi-session programmes, adapting the experience to the age, experience and confidence of the young people taking part.

Corporate & Team Experiences

Get your team out of the office and onto the trails. Swap the usual team building day for something a little different.

Boundless Trails can create mountain biking experiences for businesses and organisations looking to bring their teams together, support staff wellbeing and enjoy time outdoors.

Experiences can be designed for different levels of riding experience, including complete beginners. The focus isn't on competition or being the fastest rider - it's about having fun, trying something new and sharing an experience as a team.

Designed Around Your Group

There is no one-size-fits-all Boundless Trails programme.

Every group is different, and we can tailor the experience around your participants, organisation and objectives.

Depending on the project, we can adapt:

  • The number and length of sessions

  • Group sizes

  • Riding locations and routes

  • Experience and ability levels

  • Skills development and progression

  • Equipment requirements

  • Wellbeing and participation outcomes

  • One-off experiences or longer programmes

Our approach is supportive and non-competitive, allowing people to progress at their own pace while enjoying the experience of being outdoors and riding together.

Our Commissioned Work

LEAP Sports Scotland

Boundless Trails was commissioned by LEAP Sports Scotland to deliver a six session LGBTQ+ friendly mountain biking programme in Moray.

Sessions took place across a range of local trails and gave participants the opportunity to develop their riding, build confidence and connect with others in a welcoming and supportive environment.

The impact continued beyond the commissioned programme. Following the sessions, an ongoing LGBTQ+ friendly Boundless Trails community riding group was established, creating an opportunity for participants to continue riding and connecting with others.

Elgin Youth Cafe

Boundless Trails was commissioned by Elgin Youth Cafe to deliver a six week mountain biking programme for young people.

The programme was designed as a progressive experience across different riding locations in Moray, giving participants the opportunity to explore new trails while developing their mountain biking skills and confidence.

Each session combines riding and skills development with outdoor activity, social connection and plenty of fun on bikes.

Why Boundless Trails?

Boundless Trails is a Moray-based Community Interest Company with a simple belief: mountain biking can be about much more than riding a bike.

We use the outdoors and mountain biking to create opportunities for people to connect, develop confidence, improve wellbeing and discover something they may want to continue long after their first session.

Our delivery combines qualified mountain bike leadership with a supportive, person-centred approach.

We recognise that confidence, cost, equipment, experience and simply feeling like you don't belong can all become barriers to participating in outdoor activity. We aim to remove as many of those barriers as possible and create experiences where people feel welcome and supported.

And where appropriate, the journey doesn't have to finish when a commissioned programme ends.

Participants may have opportunities to continue riding through the wider Boundless Trails community, helping turn a short-term programme into something much more sustainable.
