Get active, get outdoors and have fun!

Book a place and you'll receive access to Virtual Foraging, Virtual Forest School and Outdoor Yoga for young people aged 8-18 with SEND

Our programme funded by Sport England provides outdoor sessions for young people aged 8-18 with SEND. 

Each Saturday we will run one short session, alternating between a Virtual Foraging Treasure Hunt, a Virtual Forest School and Outdoor Yoga, all designed to get young people active. 

There are limited places available. 
In our Virtual Foraging Treasure Hunt, Foraging Expert Jesper Launder will welcome you and send you off on a Foraging Treasure Hunt. He will be available to tell you more about plants you find on the way! (45 minutes to 1 hour).
In our Virtual Forest School, Speech Therapist and Forest School Leader Caspian Jamie will provide young people with a fun nature challenge each week. Complete the challenge in your home or garden and come back to share your creations at our virtual fire circle (30-45 minutes).

In Outdoor Yoga, Yoga and Mindfulness Practitioner Jess will take you on a yoga adventure. The session has been adapted with signs and symbols included to support young people's understanding (approx. 20 minutes).
