Our Purpose is to create a movement, where nature based VCSE organisations can collaborate and thrive together delivering outcomes that improve wellbeing, build cohesion and promote inclusion for people who experience inequality and/or long term health conditions.
Our work will contribute towards one or more of the following:
- Demonstrate impact of nature based activity that supports people experiencing poor wellbeing/experience inequality
- Develop a stronger ecosystem for nature based VCSE groups that challenges systemic inequality and promotes user voice.
- Secure investment in nature based health/inclusion focused interventions
- Amplify the voices of unheard and excluded communities
- Widen access to outdoor spaces for inner city/urban communities.
