A while ago I put up posts on the ClimbNow Blog and Facebook pages about the Falkirk Council vote on the possible closure of the excellent Falkirk Community Trust Outdoors. A number of people have asked me about the outcome recently and I realised I should do an update.
It’s basically good news and the service has been saved. For more information please visit:

Falkirk Community Trust Outdoors are therefore delivering a kids Easter Programme (although reduced compared to normal due to the uncertainty a lateness of a decision relative to the start of the programme). Please see here for more information:

They’ll be continuing to deliver an Outdoor Education to schools in the Falkirk area.
Their Winter Adult and Senior Programme runs until the 6th of April and hopefully a Summer Adult & Senior Programme will be available soon. See here for more information:

Many thanks to all those who took the time to sign petitions, contact councillors and MSPs and co-ordinate these efforts.
Wilf.
