Vertical Access Ltd & The Outdoor Collaborative

Vertical Access Ltd has begun developing our 2024 sustainability policy…

Being a Public Sector Supplier in the technical and construction industry, we have a huge responsibility on how we impact the environment and how we can increase our social value. So in accordance to the Public Services (Social Value) Act of 2012, we have decided to start by helping right on our doorstep. We would like to proudly announce our upcoming involvement with local charity The Outdoor Collaborative!

Based in Mossley, The Outdoor Collaborative helps teach teenagers and young adults a variety of different digital skills, whilst taking them on guided walks around the Greater Manchester countryside. Not only does this give young people a range of employability skills within an ever-expanding, technology-driven world, but it also has a colossal benefit to their mental health.

We met recently with Adam Ward, a founding Trustee of The Outdoor Collaborative. We talked over all the amazing work that the charity does and the number of benefits and opportunities it brings to the young people in the local community. We decided the best thing for us to do is lace up our walking boots and get volunteering!

Over the next few months, staff from Vertical Access will be teaming up with Adam and the other volunteers to help give young people life-long digital skills, all while embracing the beauty of the local countryside.

We are all very excited for this upcoming opportunity and can’t wait to share the progress with you all.

Thanks for reading!
