We blend nature, bushcraft skills and outdoor sport to heal and nurture.Help Us Help You!!
Based around colchester our mission is to provide a holistic approach to physical,mental and emotional wellbeing. We encourage social inclusion by nurturing self-esteem through active engagement with the natural environment.We do this through our tailored bushcraft programmes and outdoor skills and activities.Many people struggle to deal with social exclusion, isolation,discrimination and stigma. We provide a safe platform for groups of all ages and backgrounds to explore, learn,blossom and heal
Why the community needs usA core aim of our work has been to promote positive images and role models of those with mental health issues. We wish to show what our clients can achieve given the right level of support and encouragement. We achieve this by the continuing recruitment of individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds into key roles within the charity. We are in the process of obtaining funding to provide Open College Network training (OCN) to our client base allowing them a chance to benefit the wider community.
Our impact on the communityWe have found that access to nature and green spaces combined with physical activity has a marked and positive impact on both mental and physical health.Our clients and students gain confidence and increased self esteem aswell as improved communication, observation and memory skills. Our activities require team work and co-operation which help develop social skills. Many activities require knowledge of tool use and equipment, planning and motor skills.All these help further personal development
Presently we have enough frontline volunteers to help with our growing range of activities.However, we always welcome those who wish to help raise funds to continue our work spreading the word or can help behind the scenes.
