MP visits PGL Boreatton Park to explore outdoor learning and community impact

Helen Morgan MP recently visited PGL Boreatton Park, part of the PGL Beyond network, to see first-hand the centre’s impact on youth engagement, outdoor learning, and community connection. Boreatton Park, nestled in the Shropshire countryside, spans over 250 acres of woodland and dynamic landscapes. This flagship PGL adventure centre offers a rich variety of activities—from ziplines and kayaking to challenge courses and evening entertainment—all designed to inspire confidence, teamwork, and resilience among young participants.

During her visit, Helen Morgan MP met with the centre leadership and staff, toured activity bases, and explored accommodation options including the iconic Mansion House, lodges, and the new Cabin Village. She also spoke with participants and PGL colleagues to hear about the difference these experiences make to young people, especially those from underserved or rural communities.

Helen Morgan MP commented: “We’re really lucky to have such wonderful outdoor space in Shropshire and it was brilliant to see how Boreatton Park uses this to provide adventurous and educational experiences. I was pleased to hear how the park caters to all backgrounds and learn more about how outdoor centres can drive opportunity and personal development.”
