🌿 Outdoor education matters more than ever 🌿
The recent Ten Minute Rule Bill on Outdoor Education, introduced in Parliament, highlights the growing recognition of the vital role that outdoor learning plays in children's wellbeing, confidence and development. The Bill proposes more time outdoors during the school day, regular outdoor learning opportunities, and access to outdoor education experiences for every child.
This is exactly why our outdoor centres are such special places. They give children the opportunity to explore, challenge themselves, build resilience, make lasting friendships and develop a deeper connection with the natural world. Every visit creates memories, inspires learning beyond the classroom and helps young people thrive.
We see first-hand the difference that time outdoors makes – boosting confidence, supporting wellbeing and encouraging children to discover what they are truly capable of.
Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow and flourish in the great outdoors. 🌳🍃
