Phil, founded on the back of experience where he, “organised lots of out-of-school activities at Humbledon School including camping and canoeing. The pupils had severe disabilities but still enjoyed taking part in some very tough expeditions.

“It was usually the same small group of volunteers that used to help me staff these events.

“Together we decided to set up an independent voluntary association so that any person with a disability would have an opportunity to take part in outdoor activities.” We called it the Humbledon Outdoor Activities Association.
