Have Your Say: 2025 to 2030 BMC Strategy Consultation
Since 1944, the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) has championed access and shared vital knowledge for every hill walker, climber, and mountaineer. As we celebrate 80 years of adventure, we now look towards our next chapter and are asking for your support in developing the strategy for 2025-2030.
We are seeking input from our members, volunteers, clubs, staff, athletes, parents, stakeholders, partners, indoor walls, trusts, and the extended community of climbers, hill walkers, and mountaineers.
Our survey is designed to gather your feedback on our Strategic Framework. We want to know if the work we deliver aligns with our current vision, mission, and values, as this defines our identity as an organisation.
We want our members to be at the heart of everything we do, this is a great opportunity to have your say and input into the future of your BMC.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts. If you have any questions, please reach out to our team on office@thebmc.co.uk.
Warmest regards,
Paul Ratcliffe
