Engage diverse audiences from communities facing additional barriers to getting outdoors, to senior stakeholders including funders and other strategic external partners. Directly deliver Path Protection events to support the continued development and co-production of the programme. Work closely with Nations Directors, Community Development Officers and the Fundraising team to secure the support required to sustain and grow the programme. Ensure robust risk management systems are in place to ensure the safety of participants. Ensure programme compliance with relevant policies and regulations.

Engage diverse audiences from communities facing additional barriers to getting outdoors, to senior stakeholders including funders and other strategic external partners. Directly deliver Path Protection events to support the continued development and co-production of the programme.
