The Rohan store in Ambleside are raising funds in aid of The Outdoor Guide Foundation and their Waterproof & Wellies campaign. With your generous support we are aiming to raise £500 to provide local schools with sets of kit. Every penny you are able to donate will make a difference.

Getting outdoors and into nature is beneficial for your mental, physical and emotional health. But it's a sad fact that primary school children spend less time outdoors than prison inmates. It was on hearing this that The Outdoor Guide Foundation came into being and launched the Waterproofs and Wellies campaign.

With one third of primary school aged children coming from households that live below the poverty line, there is little money for the essentials in life, let alone for outdoor gear. The Waterproof and Wellies campaign is raising funds to provide every state primary school in the country with at least 10 sets of waterproof jackets, trousers and wellington boots of varying sizes to ensure every child has the ability to play outdoors in all weathers.

Thank you for your support.
