The COVID19 restrictions have had an extreme effect on the tourist industry in Cornwall in general, and on my income as a guided walk leader in particular.
I am left with a great deal of time on my hands which I'd like to put to good use improving my professional qualifications by adding the Lowland Leader qualification. I cannot fund this myself as I must prioritise living expenses.
I will use this recognised qualification to access booking channels currently not available to me, so improving my chances of recovering my earnings more quickly after restrictions are lifted.
I am looking to raise sufficient to fund:
• Registration with Mountain Training, the awarding body
• Two 2-day courses for training and assessment for the Lowland Leader qualification
• Travel and accommodation expenses while attending these courses at the nearest provider, approximately 120 miles away from home
If I raise any more than needed for the above, I will put this towards a suitable outdoor activity charitable project.
