context_page_description: Brathay Trust is a youth charity with its head office and residential centre based at Brathay in Cumbria, England. Founded in 1946 by Francis C. Scott, the charity is based at the Brathay Hall and estate near the town of Ambleside. The organisation's main focus is on training and developing general skills for youth, including Lake District-based outdoor education and experiential learning, but also organises people and organisation development courses for adults. In 2007, the trust began holding the Brathay Windermere Marathon, a now annual charity marathon.
context_section_description: In 1993 Brathay began collaborating with the Police and Youth Encouragement Scheme, an outreach programme pairing Merseyside youth with police officers. Courses typically last five days, and focus on building motivational skills. In 2011, the Francis C Scott Charitable Trust partnered with the University of Cumbria to begin holding the Aspiring Leaders Programme at Brathay Hall, an annual leadership event for youth from Cumbria and North Lancashire.
  In 2003, Brathay secured funding from Central Government through a Youth Sector Development Fund to extend their activities through community hubs.  The Trust has subsequently developed projects that run out of Youth Centres in Bradford, Sheffield, Wigan and in urban areas of Cumbria.
  In 2007, Brathay became the location for courses set up by charity Future for Heroes (originally called Remount), which helps the rehabilitation for returned servicemen of the British Armed Services. In 2015, a team from Future for Heroes entered the Brathay Windermere Marathon, raising £1,000 for the charity.
  Brathay Hall is the location for the annual Lake District Summer Music festival, as well as a two-week music summer school run by the festival.
