Connections to Nature

Talk to the team

Connect Young People to Nature and to Their Future

We are seeking a committed corporate partner to help deliver a transformative youth wellbeing and education programme in the South Downs National Park, designed to support young people facing barriers to connection, confidence, and opportunity.

Connections to Nature is a targeted programme that uses the restorative power of nature to support young people with poor school attendance, social isolation, or mental health challenges—while also opening doors to future green careers.

This programme will deliver:

  • Travel bursaries to ensure equitable access for all participants
  • 6x six-week Connections to Nature courses per year for secondary school pupils, with 10 participants per group
  • A 5-day summer programme for primary school leavers facing additional challenges, easing their transition to secondary school through nature-based activities
  • A 5-day summer programme for 15 university students, focused on wellbeing, nature connection, and green career pathways
  • A dedicated part-time Youth Engagement Officer
