Grow Wild Outreach CIC

About this provider

Grow wild offers a safe, fun and immersive experience in which individuals are able to reconnect with their physicality, the local community and with nature itself. It offers practical outreach services for adults with disabilities, learning disabilities and mental health needs. Outreach projects are all based outdoors and involve support to engage in local environmental projects and outdoor activities.

It could be seen as a more advanced version of 'forest school', whereby adults with barriers can engage in activities that instigate true personal and environmental development. We will take part in lake/river clearance, beach combing, planting native plants and trees to improve biodiversity and contributing to the local community gardens/parks/commons. Activities will also include rambling, cycling and other forms of exercise which boost cardiovascular and respiratory health as well as mental wellbeing. Activities are designed to be therapeutic, breaking down the negative impacts of isolation and helping to build confident individuals with improved mental health and a developed practical skill set.

Clients can be picked up and dropped off by our transport that is fully equipped with the PPE and tools needed for activities.

Grow wild also operates with social prescribing, supporting individuals who are looking for activities to benefit their mental health.
