Having many years experience in The Outdoors industry working on camps in the USA, Forest School leading, Scouting and being an outdoors adventure sports enthusiast, I really feel the benefits for children spending regular time in the Outdoors are huge.

We’re very lucky to have access to such amazing natural spaces on our doorstep in Lewes district and the Outdoors Project aims to help bring people together in these environments. To grow friendships, build self-confidence and experience where some of the best memories are made, ideally round a campfire with some marshmallows!

I really want to encourage young people to explore and discover through the outdoors, helping them to realise their potential and see the world in a positive and exciting light. Playing games, exploring different outdoors skills and having fun is the ideal recipe send everyone home smiling, including myself and the team!
