Teesside Outdoor Activities Volunteer & Guide

Open Country is a Harrogate-based charity that seeks to enable anyone with any disability to access the countryside.

Open Country has 35 years of experience in successfully organising and leading countryside activities and has enabled hundreds of people with a disability to access and enjoy the countryside.

Last year 135 volunteers in Harrogate and Wakefield donated 12,338 hours of their time.

Open Country are now moving to Teesside and are looking to find dedicated helpers in the area!
