James Brownhill Memorial Fund
In our role as the National Outdoor Centre, our primary goal is to encourage and support as many people as possible to get active outdoors. We recognise that in some cases, the primary barrier to individuals receiving the training they need is cost, so, as a not-for-profit organisation, we continually strive to ensure our course fees remain as low as possible. We also work with other organisations who provide funding support for specific opportunities.
