STOP the closure of Bushmills Outdoor Centre

Abandon the intention to close Bushmills Outdoor Centre.

This centre is a vital resource and facility within Causeway Coast and Glens, and especially as it is within the context of the Giants Causeway where it can also act as a tourist resource, if properly managed and organised.

The centre is a dynamic place for young people to learn together in an adventurous environment and especially with cross cultural mix.

Why is this important?

Young people are losing their exposure to outside spaces and they need to regain their sense of adventure and wonder.

When children are becoming more and more focused on phones and gadgets, it is no time to close our outdoor centres and lose the skills of trained staff.
