Young voices matter 📢 Despite a strong interest in politics, our research shows 80% of young people feel politicians listen to their age group the least. We’re calling on politicians to engage with young people ahead of the General Election. #ListenToYouth RT if you agree 🔁

We’re deeply disappointed by today’s decision. The pandemic’s aftershocks and a once-in-a-lifetime cost of living crisis are taking a harmful toll on young people’s mental health. Now’s the time to protect and extend their right to explore the outdoors, not limit it further. 1/

We're disappointed with the result of the wild camping legal challenge. We'll consider our position before deciding if to appeal and also discuss with landowners. We maintain wild camping is key part of open-air recreation, a way to enjoy Dartmoor.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award stands with @Muslim_Hikers and condemns the racist abuse they have received online. Hiking is for all. Through our new Youth Without Limits Strategy we're focused on ensuring those who experience marginalisation are able to take part in DofE.
