Grassroots are a nurturing solution to social, emotional and anxieties within a natural environment.
We call it the antidote.
At Grass Roots, we are committed to collaborating with the community to create a positive impact through education and support. We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment for everyone, ensuring together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of all individuals.
Why We Do It
We believe everyone, including marginalized and excluded groups, should have access to the physical and mental health benefits of learning in nature.
​
Who We Serve
We particularly aim to meet the needs of looked after children, children excluded from mainstream education, SEND adults, refugee communities, and families with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF).
​
How We Serve
We provide high-quality, enjoyable, outdoor nature-based experiences in which participants can build confidence and autonomy, develop relationships, and learn new skills through hands-on activities in the natural environment.
Our Values
-
Inclusive: We strive to make our services accessible to as many groups and communities as possible who would otherwise not normally be able to access nature-based learning.
-
Dependable: Understanding that the communities we serve often face instability, our providers offer a consistent, grounded approach and a calm, reliable presence.
-
Non-Judgemental: We offer our services without prejudice or preconception to a range of communities, regardless of past and background.
-
Relational: Building relationships and trust is a key element of our service, both between our activity leaders and participants, and among the participants themselves.
