The Orienteering Foundation is a charity that promotes and supports orienteering, to bring all the benefits this amazing sport has to offer the people of the UK.
Examples of how they have supported the growth and development of orienteering include: part-funding several clubs for Club Development Officer roles, providing coaching course grants, and supporting athletes in attending international orienteering competitions.
Development Squad athlete and member of Interlopers Orienteering Club, Mairi Eades, is currently conducting a survey to investigate the current impact and effectiveness the Foundation has across the orienteering community.
We invite you to complete this short questionnaire to help her with her research.
A link to the survey is available here.
A Conference of Association and Club representatives will be held on Saturday, 20th October at The Studio in Birmingham.

For registered delegates, the costs of the conference including refreshments and a light buffet lunch will be paid for by British Orienteering.
All members are invited to attend and we would encourage as many as possible to come along and have your say!
As in previous years, we also encourage clubs and associations to nominate two chosen representatives to represent their views. Clubs and Association chairs or secretaries must confirm the names of the two delegates attending on behalf of their club or association by completing and returning the registration form to info@britishorienteering.org.uk. This will register their attendance and these club and association delegates will be eligible to have a contribution to their expenses paid by British Orienteering (contributions will be as per below criterion).
All other members are very much encouraged to attend; however, any expenses will need to be covered by the individual, club or association depending on individual arrangements, a completed registration form will still need to be sent to info@britishorienteering.org.uk to register your place at the conference.
Where the total round trip to and from the conference venue exceeds 150 miles, British Orienteering will meet the costs of half of the mileage that exceeds 150 miles (at British Orienteering’s standard rates). Here are examples:
British Orienteering will meet half of the cost of the cheapest standard class return plane/train ticket after deducting £30.
As an example, a delegate whose rail ticket costs £50 could claim 0.5 x £20 (£50-£30) i.e. £10 from British Orienteering, with the rest to be met by the delegate or the delegate’s club or association.
