WHAT WE DO
We Help young people connect with others & nature
grow their confidence & Skills
|
We all benefit from contact with nature. Some people have had limited opportunities to form a positive relationship with the outdoors, seeing it as unfamiliar or scary environment.
Connecting with the outdoors, others and finding an exciting a pastime to regularly participate in can be truly transformative. Super natured delivers local taster programmes and helping young people to find a cataylst to get out into nature, connect with others, boost confidence, health and happiness. We work with schools, youth services, churches and other local bodies to identfy individuals who may benefit from exciting experiences to get active outdoors. We partner with local clubs to provide tasters for people who could benefit from discovering a exciting new pastime in nature on their doorstep. Although children from disadvantaged backgrounds are less interested in being outdoors in nature than better-off children, contact with nature has decreased amongst their whole generation! We can provide longer-term support (club fees and kit) to help some individuals experiencing educational, social and economic disadvantage participate in their new pastime, on an equal footing after completing the tasters. In the future we may consider other projects and opportunities to support different generations and groups, where improved contact with nature can transform peoples lives for the better. |

volunteer - help set up a taster OR SPONSORED PROJECT IN YOUR AREA
We'd love to help people in as many places as possible, but our team is a modest group of indiviudals (with day jobs) who work with accredited outdoor clubs, youth and social services, schools, funders and media to set up, promote and deliver local programmes, then put in place the opportunities to sustain this activity, with kit and membership for some participants.
If you'd like set up a taster programme to encourage people to try and hopefully develop a passion for a healthy outdoor pursuits in your area please email roger
He'll help you set things up, develop partnerships and obtain the funding to make great things happen.

Evidence
The body of evidence of the benefits of the outdoors is increasing. Robust evidence is coming forward all the time to help justify better ways of delivering services (e.g. health, education, social services etc), helping people, saving money long-term by encouraging investment in interventions that improve peoples lives and outlook, reduce the burden of treating many symptoms of our modern day society.
We are seeking to put much of the evidence in one place, so any individual or organisation can easily access it, to use it to justify growing contact with nature.
