As climbers, hill walkers and mountaineers, we know how important it is to pick the right partners. Our family of partners support the work we do to maintain access to our spaces, conserve and re-build our environment and educate and share the great benefits of our sports and activities.
Together, we stand for adventure and preserving nature. Our partnership builds on a relationship between the organisations going back a number of years where, more recently, Cotswold Outdoor has supported the BMC’s campaigns and activities including ‘Mend Our Mountains’, a project to repair footpaths in some of the country’s most popular walking locations.

In spring 2023, every Cotswold Outdoor, Snow+Rock and Runners Need customer had the chance to add a small donation to their shopping payments, after micro-donation charity Pennies teamed up with them. The total sum of £35,000 raised through this initiative went towards the BMC's Mend Our Mountains footpath repair project. This astounding amount raised shows an absolutely fantastic customer commitment to conserving the beautiful, British countryside.
MEND OUR MOUNTAINS
Their 2023 Black Friday campaign saw a percentage of each sale go to the Climate Project, raising £16,828 to help transform nearly 8,000 acres of peat moorland in the Peak District and South Pennines with Moors for the Future. This group plants sphagnum, a moss with remarkable carbon-storing capabilities. The re-vegetation and conservation of peatlands reduces erosion, wildfire and flood risk, protects endangered wildlife and transforms a source of carbon into a sink - it can be the equivalent of planting 15,000 broadleaved trees annually.
THE CLIMATE PROJECT
Cotswold Outdoor believe the outdoors should be accessible to all, that's why we've donated waterproof kit to support volunteer walk leaders at the BMC and YHA Festival of Walking, promoting safe and environmentally friendly outdoor access. It's a small yet impactful step toward ensuring that everyone can enjoy the outdoors and help care for this fragile environment regardless of their background or circumstances.
FESTIVAL OF WALKING
The discount code can be found on the back of any BMC member card. Every time a BMC member shops with them and receives a discount, either in-store or online, a percentage of the purchase goes towards the BMC's environmental campaigns to protect the landscapes we love.
