  • The Outdoor Partnership Cumbria: Needs, Challenges and Opportunities
    The Outdoor Partnership Cumbria: Needs, challenges and opportunities Preliminary report of research conducted with stakeholder and user groups July 2020 David Harvey 1 Executive Summary The Outdoor Partnership in Cumbria offers an opportunity to increase participation in outdoor activity. The research showed that there is a strong belief amongst providers, teachers, commissioners and stakeholders in the importance and value of time and outdoor and adventurous activities in the natural environment for mental and physical health, personal development and broadening horizons. Young people from Copeland who were surveyed also expressed an interest in taking part in outdoor activities. Challenges The research unearthed the following societal barriers, which programmes aiming to increase participation should consider: • Attitudes to physical activity and historical/cultural non participation in outdoor activity • A non-outdoor mindset • Limited public transport • Poverty and disposable income • Lack of awareness of opportunities • Lack of joined up approach to delivery • Limited existing sector capacity to deliver increased provision The development of a local economy that is less reliant on Sellafield is a priority for Copeland Borough Council. Related to this, it is widely believed that young people will need to develop the skills to be able to deal with the challenges associated with an uncertain world of work. Wider research shows that regular participation in outdoor activities can: • lead to greater awareness of self, others and the environment
