Outreach Programme at a glance
We understand that caring for a child with SEND can be challenging, which is why we're committed to creating a positive and inclusive community where families can come together, witness positive role modelling, and create lasting memories. Our sessions are inspired by a blended approach of the forest school ethos of experiential learning, combined with links to the school curriculum which are underpinned by a therapeutic approach to outdoor learning.
