lobbying for opportunities for outdoor learning for all young people, including those who could not afford to experience these without financial support
promoting the benefits of outdoor experiences
arguing for a balanced view of risks and benefits and an adventurous approach to life
encouraging high quality, sustainable provision, with proportionate safety assurance
maintaining a future focus on behalf of the outdoor sector
