Governance

Most people who contribute their time and energy to OutdoorLads do so on a voluntary basis. We employ a small highly professional and dedicated admin team (Liam, Dan and Yvonne).

To get more involved in OutdoorLads, just email us or give us a call. We'd love to hear form you.

If you'd like to know more about how OutdoorLads is run come along to our next Annual General Meeting and/or have a look through some of the minutes of our most recent Board of Trustees meetings.

If you're on an event, please speak to the leader if possible who will do their best to resolve any situations that arise.
