Iโm SO honoured to be nominated for a #BeingEdinburgh award; an @EdinburghUni alumni award for someone making a positive difference to the lives of others ๐ฅฐ
If any Edinburgh Uni alumni are out there and fancy casting a vote (if you think I deserve one!) the link is below ๐๐
@CallumSkinner My little girl used to rock side to side whilst laughing her head off on the back of my bike to and from nursery. How we never crashed I've no idea.
@JaneCampbellMo2 Kids are so much happier outside & so much more curious about their surroundings. Mine are lucky that they will get lots of outdoor experiences but it is something ALL kids NEED. Even better when you get to go without your parents too! #SaveYourOutdoorCentres
The #SaveYourOutdoorCentres petition now has 11900 signatures, which is simply amazing but it would mean so much if we could hit 15000 signatures by Monday. So please, if you haven't yet signed or shared our petition, would you mind doing so? TIA https://t.co/xaJrVorElu
We are so close to 10,000 signatures can we do a big push to get as many signatures as possible. Without urgent financial support many outdoor centres will close for good https://t.co/sjvfaYOuVa
Outdoor education plays a key part in areas such as the environment, sustainability as well as in life skills - so if you are creating campaigns around the outdoors, don't forget the major part played by outdoor residential providers #SaveYourOutdoorCentres
If we lose outdoor centres, peripatetic providers, and qualified instructors in place in Scotland, we probably lose a. Adventure tourism (for which Scotland is renowned), 2. Employment in rural areas, 3. The health and well-being of the populace. Takes years to build this.
