Leaders
The Staff Team are assisted in leading the Holidays by a large team of volunteers. Many of these are schoolteachers, bringing groups of pupils from their schools.
Others are undergraduates, some of whom came on Lymington Rushmore as teenagers. Others are drawn from all walks of life – lawyers, doctors, accountants, graphic designers to name just a few! This broad range of leaders, with a mixture of youth and experience, plus a high ratio of leaders to young people, help us provide a really good holiday for all who come.
Because of our focus on leadership development, we hold regular conferences and events ahead of the main summer holidays. We ensure that leaders are well trained for all the activities on our holidays.
All our Staff Team and Leaders have an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service (formerly the Criminal Records Bureau) and we take up additional references to ensure their suitability for the work.
