The Worcestershire Outdoor Education Development Association

The association is a support group who’s prime objective is to help increase the participation in Outdoor Education across the county, through seeking funding for groups and organisations working with young people in the outdoors.

As a charatable orgnisation the Association have already raised some funds to help map school grounds across the County for orienteering. The group are now looking to commence fudraising for a much bigger project.

The South Block Accomodation at Malvern Hills Outdoor Education Centre is almost 100 years old. South Block, a timber building, is showing signs of it’s age and the impact of thousands of young people who have stayed there. WOEDA in partnership with the Outdoor Centre is seeking to help raise funds for a replacement building to ensure continued access to residential Outdoor Education for Worcestershire students. We have a target of £1 million over the next 5 – 10 years which will radically replace and upgrade the buildings.

The WOEDA Walking Challenge will we hope become a regular feature of school calanders, an annually event which we hope all Worcestershire schools will support.
