Outdoor Education Centres are being Forced to Close Forever
Save Outdoor Education. We need your help as an outdoor instructor, teacher, parent, pupil or concerned party. As updated on 1st November 2020, please write to your MP, follow and share @saveoutdoored or #saveoutdoored and sign our petition to Parliament for the UK. In particular we need MP’s to show support through raising concern to the Department for Education and showing support by joining the APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) on outdoor education as detailed in MP letter template.
For more information on our current plight from the Government’s continued advice preventing overnight educational visits please see the News Page
