Call to action: Write to your MP

Many of us may have received this note from the BMC…

Next week on Wednesday 28 October, MPs will hold a special debate on the ‘Economic Value of Outdoor Recreation’. To ensure the importance of outdoor recreation including hill walking, climbing and mountaineering are fully recognised in future legislation and policy, we are asking BMC members to email or write to your local MP requesting them to attend the debate.

The timing is important as the DCMS has just concluded its consultation on a new sports strategy, and the Government’s Spending Review is currently underway. This is a real opportunity for your MP to champion the economic and wider benefits of outdoor recreation.

Want to know more? For more information, including a briefing paper, and to download a letter template to send to your MP visit the BMC website.
