It also requires that we use only qualified staff who hold recent CRB checks and First Aid certificates. This licence requires us to be inspected, have Public Liability Insurance, have Risk assessments, operating policies and procedures. Licence details can be confirmed by telephoning the Health & Safety Executive or visiting their website. We hold British Canoeing’s Quality Mark and we hold a licence with the Adventurous Activities Licencing Authority (Reg no: L11326/R1942). WE are a limited Company, Venture Outdoors Ltd, 10042656 and are a member of the Institute for Outdoor Learning. There are many great places in and around Manchester where we can go kayak, walk, mountain bike or climb. We see our mission as helping the people of Manchester enjoy the Great outdoors on their backdoor. The company is run by two teachers who also have a wide range of outdoor sport qualifications and over 20 years of experience of working with people young and old. On an average year we work with over 4000 people across the variety of our services. We are not limited to our site and run courses and trips at many venues around Manchester / The Peak District / Wales / The Lake District. As both owners are ex-teachers with multiple qualifications for outdoor sports, we then developed into a company that provides Outdoor sports and Environmental activities year round to schools, colleges, youth groups, families and individuals. We started by offering Mersey River trips to groups and individuals and running a kids holiday club. This also allows us to use the river, the woodland and meadows, pond and surrounding trails. The Rugby Club allow us to use their building and grounds.

We are a privately owned Outdoor Activities Centre on the grounds of Burnage Rugby Club, which is on the banks of the Mersey in Heaton Mersey.
