It's an Outdoorsing Thing

Whether you are climbing up a mountain or taking a stroll in the park, outdoorsing is enjoying nature, the fresh air and time for you.

Outdoorsing! It’s a verb, a doing word, a word that you get to define. It’s about getting outdoors where you can move, connect with nature, recharge and breathe in the fresh air. Nature brings so many benefits to the mind, body and soul and we feel passionately about more women enjoying these benefits.

Get Involved

Support our 'Outdoorsing' mission by joining a diverse group of women, including Kirsty Gallacher, Helen Skelton & Gabby Logan, and doctors Julie Smith and Megan Rossi, to encourage and inspire more women to embrace the outdoors. As part of the ‘Outdoorsing’ mission we would love you to share your wellbeing tips and personal stories as to why being outdoors is so important in your life. Being outdoors is proven to be an easy, accessible, and free way to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and look after your physical and mental health.
