let us out

We're on a mission to let every child in Scotland, England, and Wales experience an outdoor residential so they can become strong, resilient and curious, ready for the challenges of life.

Put simply: we want outdoor residentials to be part of the school curriculum, so no young person is left behind.

Why it matters

We support the proposed Outdoor Education Bills in Scotland, Wales and England so every child can experience an outdoor residential before they leave school.

Why? Because Teenagers in the UK are some of the most sedentary in Europe, many spend half as much time outside than their parents did, and 58% of them rank mental health as one of the top three issues for their generation.

Our young people deserve better and we know outdoor education can deliver. That's why we're leading the charge with the #LetUsOut campaign.
