Providers and Leaders

Award Providers

We refer to organisations that deliver the John Muir Award as Award Providers. Most participants complete their John Muir Award through an Award Provider. Examples of Award Providers include state schools, special schools, outdoor learning centres, forest schools, community groups, youth organisations and many others.

To become an Award Provider, your organisation must hold a John Muir Trust Group Membership. Membership can be purchased online or arranged by invoice.

Award leaders

Award leaders are employed by, or volunteer for the Provider organisation. Leaders must be over the age of 18 and are responsible for submitting Award proposals, reviews and certificate requests as well as leading Award activity. 

Becoming an Award Leader means: 

  • You consent to the data you provide being held by John Muir Trust for the management of your Awards. 
  • You consent to receive communications from the John Muir Trust to support the management of your Award. 
  • The responsibility for ensuring adequate health & safety, legal and insurance arrangements lies with the you/your organisation. 
  • You are over the age of 18. 
  • Adult participants and/or parents/guardians of under 18’s completing the Award will be made aware by you (the Award leader) that their name will be shared with the John Muir Trust for the purposes of creating certificates. This data will be deleted after six months. No other personal data will be shared. Other data about the group as a whole will only be shared in an aggregated format. 
  • Data you have provided will be anonymised and used to demonstrate impact. 

View our Privacy Policy for more information about how we manage and protect your data. 

Multiple people within your organisation can become Award Leaders – each person is responsible for their groups’ activity and should submit their own proposals, reviews and certificate requests.  

If you’d like to become a new Leader within an organisation that is already an active John Muir Trust Group Member, please get in touch.
