Our outdoor learning programme, 'Time to Grow!', brings learning to life in North London primary schools. Help us partner with more schools and reach more children.

DESCRIPTION

Urban Forest School (UFS) provides nature-deprived urban primary school children the opportunity to experience their local area in a whole new way and develop confidence, new skills, resilience, and improved social and physical wellbeing. UFS sparks a curiosity in nature and helps children build a lifelong connection. Delivered in hyper-local natural spaces, 2,000 children per year participate in regular, equitable sessions that emphasise child-led learning, reflection and safe risk-taking.

DESCRIPTION

Each year, we provide residential camping trips in the High Weald, Kent for over 200 socially and economically deprived primary school children, many of whom have never left the city before. Transformative camping and nature connection experiences foster a deeper connection to nature, enhancing mental and physical wellbeing and building stewardship for our planet. Our team is trained in trauma-informed practice and we work closely with teachers to meet the needs of every child.
