Opening the Way: The Ramblers’ Strategic Ambition

We are delighted to share our refreshed strategy for 2024 and beyond which sets out our ambition for a future where everyone can enjoy the benefits of walking in nature. This strategy has been developed over a period of nearly two years with the involvement of many people, including members, volunteers, partners and other supporters. Our research has clearly shown that significant inequities exist when it comes to the opportunity to get outside in nature. This strategy sets out to address this imbalance by prioritising the needs of communities who have the least access and face the most barriers to walking outside in nature. We are looking forward to playing our part, along with the wider outdoors sector, in creating a healthier, more equitable and more inclusive society.
