Both Bewerley Park and East Barnby have been providing Outdoor Education to pupils in North Yorkshire for many years.
The staff at these centres are the most experienced you will find.
It's not just a case of taking some kids on a trip to try a few activities. What they provide are vital life skills.
No other centres (that I have taken school groups to) come close to the knowledge, understanding and support like BP & EB do.
In a time when mental health and the aftermath of COVID will have a ripple effect for many years to come EB & BP are equipped and ready to roll out support across the county ASAP.
They support schools with learning outside the classroom, pupils with SEND, introducing pupils to new activities, provide experience to gain life skills.
They support staff with training, confidence to deliver, first aid and Midas training along with opportunities to gain qualifications in various Outdoor Adventurous Activities.
There are 45 staff at risk of losing jobs but also North Yorkshire and all the schools within North Yorkshire losing a vital place that can't be replicated anywhere else.
