East Coast Outdoors CIC
Helping clients in London, Essex and East Anglia with the expedition section of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award at all levels.
Always with Young People in Mind
East Coast Outdoors was created in December 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.
Offering back:
- Keeping costs low. Our price per head is low and includes groups kit, instructors and all the support you need to make your expedition successful. There are no hidden extras.
- Low cost personal kit hire for participants who book through a school or college.
- Free participation places for every client, every year. In 2022, we gave 75 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.
- We offer the Countryside Leaders Award as a good starting place, helping develop confidence and skills for those school staff who want to run their own in-house expeditions.
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 email info@eastcostoutdoors.co.uk or ring 07706 476179.
