Pupils, parents and teachers have joined a campaign to save Scotland’s outdoor education centres ahead of the Scottish Parliament’s debate on 22 September.
Every year, more than 100,000 young people go on a residential trip to one of the 40 centres in Scotland, including Ocean Youth Trust Scotland. Under Scottish Government coronavirus guidelines no residential trips can take place, and without urgent funding it is predicted that approximately half of the centres will never reopen.
