OATS Annual Impact Review 2024
At OATS, we are always keen to update our valued supporters, funders, partners, and volunteers on the charity’s current vision and the projects and activities it has been working on over the last year.
The OATS Impact Review 2024 highlights how, as a small charity, we have managed the challenges and opportunities of the last 12 months and the big impact our projects and other activities have had on Scotland’s sustainable outdoor access and active tourism.
There are a couple of ways of accessing the Impact Review 24:
- In an accessible magazine format online – https://bit.ly/OATSimpact24.
- In a viewable and downloadable pdf version on the OATS website – https://bit.ly/OATSAnnualReports.
We hope this annual review gives you a deeper insight into the charity and its annual operations and explains why support, funding, and project collaborations are so essential to the longevity of OATS’ sustainable access projects.
