Rain, snow, or blazing sun. The Outside Club works because of the people who turn up. Here's who we are.
The people
Every person on this team is here because they care, not because it's a career ladder. Many of us have lived experience that means we get it. We know what it's like to need someone in your corner.
We're trained, we're experienced, and we take safeguarding seriously. But more than that, we're consistent. We show up every week, we remember your name, and we don't give up on you.
Meet the team
For over ten years I've been finding ways to connect children and young people to nature, trying to make it feel accessible and interesting, not like something you need special kit or a permission slip for.
I think nature connection can be big or small. Picking up a worm. Climbing a tree. Just running around playing games in the rain.
During sessions, I love having chats with young people and learning how they see the world. I also love being silly and playing games, basically getting to be a big kid. That's the best part of the job.
Governance
Behind the sessions, there's a board of trustees who keep The Outside Club running, growing, and accountable. They bring experience across youth work, community development, safeguarding, and governance, and they volunteer their time because they believe in what we're doing.
We're always looking for people who care about young people and don't mind getting rained on. Whether you want to volunteer, join the team, or become a trustee, we'd love to hear from you.
