We believe that childhood experiences in the natural world are vital, helping young people to:
- be mentally and physically healthier
- have opportunities to learn important life skills and true values
- understand their connection, influence and ultimately their responsibilities to the health and protection of our world and its ecosystems
Going Wild is about escaping into the great outdoors to discover the wonders and excitement of the natural world. Whether out in the countryside or in the city, it’s possible to seek out wilderness on your doorstep.
Going Wild aims to inspire children and young people to switch off that tv and rush outside where imaginations can run riot., where they can have fun, learn new skills, judge risk for themselves and improve their confidence and self esteem by facing new challenges.
Going Wild aims to help you take advantage of whatever nature offers, wherever you live, (town or country), at any time of the year (winter or summer), whatever the weather!
Going Wild encourages young people and families to try something new and discover the pleasures a simpler life outdoors can offer, away from commercial pressures without spending a fortune.
