Boris Johnson urged to intervene to 'save outdoor education'

You may have seen our social media and news reports today about the letter sent to PM Boris Johnson urging him to end a lockdown block on residential school visits or risk destroying the "great British tradition" of outdoor education.

A letter was sent by UK Outdoors today (5th October) to the Prime Minister as part of this week's concerted media and communications plan.

Do please use the content and narrative in the letter (link below) to refer to in any local media contact you have, along with the key messages and statement below.
