The Outdoor Recreation Network Executive Committee is a collaborative group of representatives from the ‘Executive Member’ organisations within our network.
These dedicated individuals bring a wealth of experience and passion for outdoor recreation, playing a pivotal role in overseeing the work of the ORN Secretariat and shaping the event programmes delivered by the Network. Through their collective efforts, the Committee fosters partnerships, such as the ‘Buddy Scheme,’ and creates valuable training and networking opportunities that support the growth and development of outdoor recreation across the UK and Ireland. Their work ensures that the sector continues to thrive, offering meaningful connections and resources for all involved.

Member “Buddy Scheme”
The ORN Member Buddy Scheme has been in place since 2023. As an ORN member, you’ll be paired with a member of the Executive Committee who will serve as your primary point of contact. Your “Buddy” can also connect you with other members of the network for support or advise on projects and initiatives.
Join the ORN Committee
If your organisation is an ‘Executive Member’ within our network, there will be various opportunities offered to sit on the Committee. If you are interested in this opportunity email the ORN Secretariat.
