East Coast Outdoors was created in 2018 by a group of experienced DofE volunteers, leaders and school staff, hoping to provide young people the opportunity to take part in a safe, challenging, and cost-effective Duke of Edinburgh expedition experience. The team work hard to keep its Community Interest Company roots, and offer back in a number of ways:-
- Keeping costs down. Our price per head is lower than other providers and includes group kit, instructors and all the support you need to make your expedition successful. There are no hidden extras.
- Free participation places for every client, every year. In 2024, we gave 425 free places to young people as part of our free participation place scheme.
- Enabling participants who struggle with medical, behavioural and social circumstances to take part at every level. We are an inclusive provider.
- Fair pay for our instructor staff. Our pay scales are reviewed yearly, and we pay extra for assessment and management.
- CPD courses and opportunities to long term staff.
Whether you use our company or decide another provider is a better fit for you, we are always keen to talk and offer support to anyone who asks, just contact us at info@eastcoastoutdoors.co.uk or ring 07706 476179.
