Our Supported Charity
Wilderness Foundation UK
The Wilderness Foundation UK harnesses the power of the wilderness and nature to transform vulnerable lives and empowers people, in return, to conserve nature. We offer nature based outreach programmes, environmental education and nature therapy camps along with wilderness trails that enable adults and youth to explore unspoilt wild places in the UK, Europe and South Africa. Our aims include using the outdoors, nature and wilderness experiences 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 and improve their personal sustainability, independence, belonging, self-esteem and resilience. We also work to preserve wild spaces and engender an enduring love of nature, through education and direct experience for everyone, with conservation volunteering experience, gaining practical tools and skills.
