Our Mission

To create a professional, well-informed, connected and supported outdoor access and active travel sector and through this enhance its profile.

Our Outcomes and Outputs:

What we want to achieve:

  • Better supported people working in this sector through the delivery of learning and networking opportunities and to provide a voice for the sector at a national level.
  • A rise in the profile and value of outdoor access and active travel within all sections of society, thereby influencing public policy for their benefit.

We will do this by:

  • Organising training and the sharing of good practice in the sector through conferences, networking events, site visits, formal training opportunities and online learning.
  • Continuing and grow relationships across all areas of the sector by facilitating networking between members to assist in solving common challenges.
  • Maintaining and promoting knowledge sharing through various channels such as the Scottish Access Technical Information Network and the Knowledge Hub.
  • Being a sustainable, collaborative and relevant organisation with the human and financial resources necessary to meet the expectations of our members and funders.

All of this will be achieved using our strong national connections and expertise to promote good practice and policy in this sector for the benefit of all aspects of society.
