🌿 This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the women who shape outdoor education in every way.

From apprentices taking their first steps, to experienced leaders with decades of service, to those balancing family life, new skills, personal challenges and big adventures — their journeys remind us that there’s no single path into the outdoors.

Across Entrust Outdoors, women are leading sessions, coordinating centres, supporting programmes, building confidence, solving problems, lifting others up and showing young people what’s possible. Their strength, resilience and heart are woven into every experience we deliver.

Today we celebrate their courage, their growth, their leadership and the many ways they inspire the next generation to step outside with confidence.

We’re proud to work for Entrust Outdoors— and proud to stand alongside the incredible women who make our work meaningful every single day. 🌄

Celebrating Wendy — Standon Bowers Centre Coordinator at Entrust Outdoors 🖥️☎️

For more than two decades, Wendy has been a steady, inspiring presence at Standon Bowers — shaping experiences, supporting teams and helping thousands of young people discover what they’re capable of. Twenty‑plus years in the service is no small thing; it’s a legacy built on dedication, heart and an unwavering belief in the power of outdoor learning.

As Centre Coordinator, Wendy is the person who keeps everything running with calm confidence. She welcomes schools, supports staff, solves challenges before they become problems and creates an environment where young people feel safe, excited and ready to try something new. Her leadership is grounded, thoughtful and full of quiet strength — the kind that lifts everyone around her.

But it’s the way Wendy shows up that truly defines her: with kindness, humour and a deep commitment to making every day at Standon Bowers meaningful. She’s the heartbeat of the centre, and her impact reaches far beyond the activities themselves.

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating Wendy and the many women across Entrust Outdoors whose experience, resilience and passion shape our programmes and inspire young people every single day. Their influence lives in every moment of courage, joy and discovery they help create. 🧗

Learning something completely new at 41 can feel daunting… but as Lauren shows, it can also be exciting, empowering and full of unexpected joy. Stepping beyond what feels familiar is never simple, yet the outdoors has a way of reminding us just how capable we really are — especially when the views are this good.

As a Specialist Advisor in Educational Services, Lauren plays a key role in supporting the work that happens across Entrust Outdoors. She’s someone who keeps things moving, solves problems with calm confidence, and brings a thoughtful, people‑centred approach to everything she does. And she doesn’t just support outdoor learning — she lives it, embracing challenge and proving that adventure has no age limit.

On International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating Lauren and all the incredible women across Entrust Outdoors who lead with courage, curiosity and a commitment to growth — whether they’re on the slopes, on the hills or supporting our teams every single day. 🎿⛷️

“My journey — in life and in the outdoors — has been shaped by shared wisdom, encouragement and the incredible women I’ve had the privilege to learn from, work alongside and explore with. Their influence guides me along every trail, river and field I step into. I’m so grateful for them all.”

This International Women’s Day, we’re shining a light on Tamar — a dedicated Coordinator whose enthusiasm and energy shape every programme she’s part of. Whether she’s supporting young people out on activities or spending her evenings monitoring and safeguarding local bat populations, Tamar brings curiosity, expertise and genuine care to everything she does.

Her sense of adventure is matched by her love for her Beagle — a reminder that companionship and joy can be found both in the places we explore and the animals who share those journeys with us.

Tamar represents the heart of outdoor education: empowering others, protecting the environments she works in, and showing young people that science, exploration and conservation are spaces where women not only belong, but lead.

Today, we celebrate Tamar — and all the women across Entrust Outdoors whose dedication, strength and spirit make a lasting impact every day. 🐾🎊

Celebrating Katie — Instructor at Standon Bowers 🧗🏼‍♂️🗻

As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations at Entrust Outdoors, we’re shining a light on the women whose journeys show what growth, determination and passion look like in real time.

Katie began her path with us as an apprentice, and at the end of last year she proudly completed her course — now stepping into her role as a full‑time Instructor at Standon Bowers. Her journey is a brilliant example of what happens when you back yourself, embrace challenge and keep moving forward.

Whether she’s out on the hills navigating new routes, supporting young people through their own adventures, or spending her spare time playing football, Katie brings energy, resilience and a love for the outdoors into everything she does.

On International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating Katie and all the women across Entrust Outdoors who show young people that adventure, confidence and leadership belong to them too.

“Being a woman in outdoor education means showing young people that confidence, resilience and adventure aren’t limited by gender. It’s not always easy to balance work and family life, but being outside and exploring new places always helps bring that balance back.”

Today, on International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating Lisa — our brilliant Contracts Manager, whose work behind the scenes keeps our programmes running smoothly and ensures young people continue to access high‑quality outdoor experiences.

Lisa’s perspective is a powerful reminder that outdoor education isn’t just delivered on the hills, lakes or ropes courses. It’s shaped by the women who plan, organise, coordinate and make it all possible. Her commitment, calm leadership and passion for the outdoors help create opportunities for young people to grow in confidence and discover what they’re capable of.

This International Women’s Day, we’re proud to recognise Lisa and the many women across Entrust Outdoors who lead with strength, balance and heart — both in their work and in thier lives. 👏🎉

🧗🏼‍♂️As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations at Entrust Outdoors, we’re shining a light on the women who are stepping boldly into outdoor education — learning, growing and finding their confidence on the journey.

Elly is one of our fantastic apprentices at Standon Bowers, and she’s already showing exactly what it means to embrace challenge. Whether she’s supporting sessions, learning new skills or getting hands‑on with activities like climbing, Elly brings enthusiasm, determination and a brilliant willingness to push herself.

The outdoors has a way of building confidence one step — or one foothold — at a time, and Elly is a great example of how growth happens when you show up, try something new and trust yourself. Her energy and positivity make her a wonderful role model for the young people she works with.

On International Women’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate Elly and all the women across Entrust Outdoors who are carving out their own paths, lifting others up and proving that adventure belongs to everyone.🎊

As part of our International Women’s Day celebrations at Entrust Outdoors, we’re celebrating the many ways women stay connected to the outdoors through every stage of life.

This month, Becky is celebrating six years with Entrust Outdoors — a brilliant milestone. One of Becky’s biggest achievements is continuing to stay as active as possible while growing a small human, making the most of sunny days and spending time outdoors with other women in her family.

Whether it’s soaking up the sunshine or simply getting outside together, Becky’s story is a reminder that outdoor education isn’t just about big adventures — it’s about adapting, supporting one another, and finding joy in the outdoors in ways that work for you.

Becky’s journey shows the power of slowing down, tuning into nature, and embracing the outdoors with the people who matter most. Her commitment to staying active, connected, and grounded — even through life’s biggest transitions — is something worth celebrating.

Here’s to Becky, and to all the women who continue to shape, inspire, and champion outdoor experiences for themselves and others. 🐾🦴

A message for International Women’s Day from Emma, Chief Instructor at Standon Bowers 🧗‍♂️

Time in the outdoors builds resilience, strength, determination and confidence. For a long time, those qualities haven’t always been encouraged or celebrated in girls in the same way as boys — and that’s exactly why representation matters. When women are visible in these spaces, taking up room, getting muddy, pushing limits and supporting each other, it challenges expectations about who belongs there.

Growing up in Girlguiding, I was lucky to see incredible women doing just that. Seeing it firsthand shapes confidence and reminds the next generation that they are allowed to be bold, capable and unapologetically strong.

On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women across Entrust Outdoors who continue to show young people what’s possible — by leading, inspiring and making space for others to thrive in the outdoors.
