"Many people might have told me that putting outdoor learning at the heart of my school’s curriculum was too hard, too expensive or would take up too much curriculum time. Instead, in TGC I feel that I have found a partner who understands"

Beneficiaries
- Children / Young People
Over 70% of our beneficiaries are early-years and school children aged 3-11. We prioritise working with those schools with a high proportion of disadvantaged pupils to ensure we reach those children who stand to benefit most from our work.
- The General Public / Mankind
30% of our beneficiaries are those in the wider community facing particular need, including toddlers, parents, families and the over 55s and those who participate in our career and personal development training opportunities.
- Environment
Our work increases respect and protection of the natural world. Climate change and sustainability are themes that run through all TGC programmes. Practically, our work in the community also physically improves nature within Islington's greenspaces.

Our goals to make a difference
-
Urban children and adults learn to nurture a respect, understanding and responsibility to care for their local and wider environment.
-
People who may not feel nature is for them and may not understand the benefits spend time in nature for health and wellbeing.
-
Urban children will sensitively & positively learn about climate change & the environment through our education, Urban Forest School and countryside programmes.
-
Deliver over 1,000 nature-connection sessions per year across North East London, Kent and East Sussex, benefitting at least 10,000 non unique beneficiaries.

Meaningful partnership work, eg with BrightStart and BrightFutures in Islington will provide access to our services for disadvantaged members of the community.
