The Wilderness Foundation UK

The Wilderness Foundation UK promotes the benefits and enjoyment of wild nature. The charity aims to help young people switch off technology, and switch on reality.

Through the great outdoors, The Wilderness Foundation UK helps build resilience in vulnerable teenagers with challenging lives and mental health issues, introduces rural employment to urban youth, and brings curriculum-based sciences to life in the outdoors.

The charity runs a 400-acre living classroom engaging young people with the subjects of nature, farming and food security in the 21st century. The charity also runs an allotment project training people with disabilities and mental health problems to grow their own food, and supports young people with complex needs to build their aspirations and employability though wilderness therapy journeys.
