We as an organisations have faced several challenges this year, but have faced them, together with surrounding communities and worked hard to maintain and strengthen relationships with places of education, community groups and individuals!
We've been honoured to have worked with so many talented individuals who have existed in our team, this includes freelance and contracted staff members. Whether that be Duke of Edinburgh deliver, outreach or centre based deliver, staff members have delivered and delivered exceptionally!

We past our BAPA inspection gaining accreditation and the Learning Outside of the Classroom and Adventure Mark, promoting safe practice of work in and enjoyable environment. Something we could not have delivered without the hard work from our team and the relationships between schools that we have built.
