Kendal Mountain Festival 2023
Head Outside Award Winners 2023
Sam Hill Rising Star Award 2023
This year's winner, Marlon Patrice, founded @wegooutsidetoo with a mission close to his heart. After tragically losing his son to knife crime amid the pandemic, Marlon was inspired to create a platform that fosters a connection between the Black community in Birmingham and the rejuvenating effects of nature. His goal is not only to break down barriers but also to cultivate unity within the community. Sam's family deeply respects Marlon's unwavering resilience and unwavering dedication to his cause.
Jess, Sam’s sister has these words to say “In October this year, it was 5 years since Sam died by suicide. Grief is something that no one is prepared for but grief has helped me find my voice and for one man, his grief has taken him on an incredible journey. His love for the outdoors and his love for his son has opened up the great outdoors to communities who may not have had access to it in their daily lives by creating We Go Outside Too.
