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 progressive 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
