Good catch up for sector leaders with Outdoor Learning APPG co-chairs @RobinMillarMP and Tim Farron this week. Just the start of a conversation about opportunities for the sector and APPG plans for the year ahead.

Please be assured your #OLAPPG is still here in Westminster and working away quietly but persistently. Whatever the next few weeks may bring, the importance of the outdoors for learning - and a cross-party approach to the interests of that cause - will continue!

After a quiet period on twitter, we're back at #CPC23 at the launch of UK Youth's report on Outdoor Learning. Impressive young voices asking questions, taking them and moderating the event.

It was great to be invited by @RobinMillarMP to the APPG for Outdoor Learning Event this week! 🍃 We talked to MPs about our latest Outdoor Learning policy report, and our strong belief on the benefits it offers to young people's development and physical and mental wellbeing.

Today was the day...

Well done, Sam Rowlands MS! So glad you got to see the extraordinary variety and depth of provision in the outdoor sector and championed it so effectively. Outdoor Learning is only better known and understood for this effort. Thank you! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
