Action Outdoors

Built by The Waterways Trust Scotland and managed by Falkirk Council, Action Outdoors aims to offer young people in the region a host of healthy waterside activities, new experiences, the opportunity to meet new people and the chance to develop new skills.

Alongside taster sessions where young people can try out a new activity, the centre offers personal and social development courses and the opportunity to gain National Governing Body awards in a range of outdoor activities. Staff at the centre are making the most of the facilities that are available on their doorstep - the canals, the towpaths and the natural environment, to make a real difference to the young people in the area.

More than 2,500 people are expected to make use of the centre each year.
