about forest pot

at present, kin allocate £50,000 annually towards subsided/fully funded places. this is across all training, workshops, long term groups and camps. 

we continue to invest in the forest pot because we have witnessed first hand since our inception in 2017 how powerful this work is. all of our offerings, whether directly with children or enabling adults in their work with children, are aimed at growing the next generation and protecting the future of the planet. they also provide numerous other positive wellbeing effects . 

with hundreds of people of all ages from newborn to those in their nineties attending our trainings, workshops, long-term sessions, gatherings and camps we continue to receive kinship feedback about the positive impact the experience they have with us, has on their
mental health and wellbeing.

our approach has been developed on the ground by bringing together ‘forest school’ pedagogy (to learn more visit the ‘forest school association’) and nature connection practices (a special acknowledgement to jon young and the 8 shields movement which have been essential to bringing these ancient practices to the 21st century). in addition to this, our kinfolk bring their own individual gifts to the work we do on the ground.

due to the postitive benefits time in the forest offers.
we strive to ensure the project is accessible to those who do not have the financial means.
our forest pot ensures our sustainability for the future as we know now more than ever,
our work in reconnecting people to the natural world is vital for the future of our planet.
