One for All Forest School was incorporated in May 2023 and began offering services in August 2023. Our organization supports neurodivergent adults by providing inclusive, nature-based programs de-signed to promote personal growth, social connection, and mental well-being. Key Activities During the Financial Year: 1.Pilot Sessions (August 2023): A series of three pilot forest school sessions were held, attended by an average of 5 par-ticipants per session. Participants were provided with nature journals and resources to support nature learning and personal goal setting. 2.September 2023 Open Day: Hosted an Open Day attended by 9 community members, featuring activities such as ap-ple juice making with foraged apples and nature crafts. Several participants from this event became regular attendees. 3.Weekly Sessions (October 2023 – April 2024): Weekly forest school sessions were offered on Friday mornings, with an average attend-ance of 4 participants. Despite occasional cancellations due to low numbers, these sessions provided valuable opportunities for participants to connect with nature and with each other. During this period, two regular participants were onboarded as directors, ensuring partic-ipant voices informed the development of the organization. 4.March 2024 Open Day: Organized an Open Day to advertise upcoming summer courses, attended by 6 partici-pants. Activities included outdoor cooking with foraged materials and an introduction to the community’s public nature area. Community Impact: One for All Forest School has established itself as the only adult forest school in the area and one of the few organizations offering services to neurodivergent adults without learning disabilities. Through our activities, we have: Created a safe and supportive space where neurodivergent adults can connect with nature, share experiences, and participate in well-being activities. Enhanced participants’ confidence, social connections, and mental health through structured sessions and engaging group activities. Improved community woodland spaces by fostering environmental stewardship and reducing anti-social behavior through regular usage and maintenance. Our efforts have laid a strong foundation for continued growth, and we remain committed to support-ing neurodivergent adults and contributing to the well-being of the local community.
1.Stakeholders: Participants: Neurodivergent adults who attend our sessions and are at the heart of our mission. Directors: Our leadership team, including two participant directors onboarded to pro-vide a lived-experience perspective. Community Members: Residents and organizations near the woodland spaces we use. 2.Consultation Methods: Participants: Surveys were conducted to gather feedback on session structure, timing, and overall experience. Directors: Informal directors’ meetings were held, using feedback from participant di-rectors to refine program delivery. Community Members: We engaged with local residents near our woodland spaces to address concerns, build rapport, and discuss shared goals. 3. Actions Taken in Response to Feedback: Based on participant surveys, we: Added more structure to our sessions to improve clarity and flow. Reduced session length from 2.5 hours to 2 hours to better suit participant needs. Relocated to a quieter woodland area with less road noise, improving the sensory environment. Through collaboration with community members near the new woodland space, we: Organized cleanup efforts to enhance the area’s usability. Contributed to reducing anti-social behavior through our regular presence and maintenance activities. Responding to input from participant directors, we: Adjusted session times and days to increase accessibility for a broader participant base. Introduced weekly communal activities like gathering around a fire with tea to foster a sense of connection and belonging. To expand our reach, we developed a website, enabling us to advertise to potential participants who do not use social media. 4.Absence of Consultation: While we have consulted widely with key stakeholders, we remain committed to identifying additional ways to gather feedback and improve our services further. By maintaining open lines of communication with our stakeholders, we have successfully created a dynamic and inclusive program that evolves in response to the needs of our participants and community.
