The Jack Petchey Foundation has partnered with Essex Boys and Girls Clubs (EBGC) to deliver its Wales Adventure Week programme which offers outdoor education for children and young people living in the most deprived parts of the county.

It hopes the programme, based at EBGC's activity centre in the Brecon Beacons, has opened up the outdoors to more diverse groups of young people as well as supporting stronger connections between young people and the natural environment.
