WHO ARE COMMUNITY REPS?

Community Reps are POW UK spokespeople in outdoor sports communities. They raise awareness in their communities of the actions that they can take to combat the climate crisis.

WHERE ARE COMMUNITY REPS BASED?

Our Community Reps are part of outdoor sports communities both in the UK and Europe. Outdoor sports communities aren’t just ski and snowboard groups, they can be climbing, sailing, walking, diving, exploring, camping, caving, surfing… the climate crisis is going to affect anyone who takes part in outdoor sports and we all need to come together and take action.
