Public Statement: The Future of HOAC and the Broadwater Relocation Plan
For more than 60 years, HOAC has provided life-changing outdoor experiences for young people, schools, and our wider community. As many supporters know, we were required to close our original site in 2020 to make way for HS2 works, with the long-term expectation that we would relocate to a new purpose-built facility at Broadwater Lake.
We remain fully committed to relocation and to continuing our mission.

Unfortunately we are still waiting to hear where we are going to be relocated to, the council are confident we will be operating in 2022 but other than that we do not have much of an update
We are poised to move and reset up our operations as soon as we can and hope you will continue to be patient and as soon as we have a positive update we will share it with all of you.
