We’re delighted to announce our partnership with The Wilderness Foundation UK, a fantastic charity dedicated to preserving wild spaces and providing nature-based therapy and mentoring to children, teens and adults.
Based in Essex, the foundation offers nature-based outreach programmes, environmental education and nature therapy camps, alongside wilderness trails that enable adults and young people to explore unspoilt wild places. Their 45+ accredited therapists seek to bring about measurable, positive change and improved mental health within disadvantaged and vulnerable young people and adults, enabling them to lead a healthy and active life. The foundation also works to preserve wild spaces by educating young people on the benefits of protecting nature and the value of time spent outdoors.
The Wilderness Foundation UK was founded in 1976, coincidentally the same year as ECI, meaning both our organisations will celebrate their 50th anniversaries next year.
We look forward to supporting this fantastic charity over the next year through different initiatives and activities. You can discover more about their programmes and their dedication to connecting people with nature by visiting their website: https://wildernessfoundation.org.uk/
