Every child in Scotland deserves the chance to attend a residential outdoor education programme, regardless of their ability to pay for it.
Share this far and wide and get on to your local MSP to ask them to vote in favour of this bill.
🆕 "We have heard about the hugely positive impact that outdoor residential education can have on the development and attainment of children and young people."

I fully back the #SaveYourOutdoorCentres campaign. Broomlee at West Linton is an excellent facility that has made a positive difference to the lives of so many young people

@DavidMundellDCT I trust that SOEC's Broomlee Centre in West Linton, as well as all the other vital residential outdoor education centres across Scotland,can count on your support in parliament next week? We must #SaveYourOutdoorCentres for future generations of Scottish children

ICYMI Reporting Scotland featured our campaign. If a financial support package was made available our highly skilled instructors could work with schools across Scotland. We could help compliment and deliver meaningful outdoor learning which would hugely benefit young people.

One of the best feelings is to have been outdoors with your mates all day, to have experienced nature and activity and to have pushed your own comfort zones to do something. Is now the time to take away that feeling from Scottish school children? #really #SaveYourOutdoorCentres
