🏕 30 graduates went on to complete the Out There Award Plus responsible camping & volunteering weekend
🗺 Ten are on track to become official Ambassadors of the scheme!
The Out There Award is 100% free & always held in accessible locations to help break down barriers to the outdoors.
Of this year's participants:
• 39% were from minority ethnic groups
• 32% from LGBTQI+ groups
