Nadia Weigh is the Community Lead for Adventure Queens, a non-profit organisation that aims to delicately smash down barriers that stop women being active outdoors. In the last year she has propelled the community forward, doing more for the community than has ever been done before in a year. She has organised 3 Hills Skills programs to support 3 different groups of marginalised women to get into the outdoors; Refugee Women, Domestic Abuse Survivors and Women returning to the outdoors after injury or long term health condition. She has also spoken at the Adventure Mind Conference in a panel discussing Community Groups in the outdoors.

Its mission is to unlock previously inaccessible private land & grow an awe-inspiring network of Wild Spaces for camping & adventure. Sustainability is a primary pillar, requesting that members Leave No Trace & respect the Spaces they visit; in Aug23 CampWild launched Leave It Better Week to take this a step further. To monitor the use & condition of Wild Spaces CampWild developed an innovative platform that uses a unique Snap-In Snap-Out system so members photograph when they setup & leave camp; protection of Wild Spaces is paramount.

Mountain Rescue isn’t a training organisation – although teams invest a huge amount of time in training for their service – but it also has a role in working with partners to spread safety messages and educate everyone who enjoys the outdoors about how to keep safe and #Be Adventure Smart. Even if you’re not thinking of joining a team as a volunteer, there are any number of other ways you can contribute: fundraising or helping organise events, offering your professional skills, cooking bacon butties during a shout… even washing down team vehicles. Even an hour or two a week can be useful and many teams have supporters groups that make a big difference

We are here to empower young people; to support them as they learn new skills, overcome obstacles, and build confidence and resilience.

We’ve taken thousands of women on adventures from first-time mountain hikes to world-first overseas expeditions!
