Into Nature CIC is a not-for-profit organisation that delivers Forest School, training and Wellbeing in nature sessions to the local community. We are based in Gloucestershire on the Bathurst Estate near Cirencester and also work with partners to deliver outreach to the community. We are working towards making Forest School experiences available to everyone, especially those whose circumstances prevent them from having regular access to nature, be it through finances, disabilities or other factors. Our vision is for everyone in the community to feel connected to nature around them, for health, wellbeing and empowerment. Our focus is to bring people together, tackling isolation, improving wellbeing and enabling connections, no matter what people’s background or age might be – everyone is welcome and a valued part of the community. In November 23 through to March 2024 we delivered weekly Woodland Wellbeing sessions funded by the National Lottery Awards for All. We delivered a second series of 8 weekly sessions in September 2024 through October 2024, funded by the Gloucestershire Community Foundation From November 2023 - March 2024 we offered fully funded monthly Saturday Meet ups. This group continued beyond funding through to October 2024 with tickets on a sliding scale enabling participants to attend. In October 2023 we partnered with Dialect a rural writers platform to offer free or subsidised childcare places for parents attending writing workshops. In April and May 2024 we co-designed and delivered the Inside and Out Project in partnership with Victim Support and Cirencester Deer Park School for pupils of the school, funded by the Free Hospital Trust. In August 2024 we offered inclsuive Holiday Activities with places funded by Cotswolds Landscapes and employing local facilitatorsto deliver. In October 2023 we were awarded Build Back Better fund to build a more accessible and more permanent toilet facility in the woods. We contracted a local greenwood/timber framer to undertake the build. Through a grant from Cotswolds Landscapes May 2024 we were able to clear the access track to the site making the site more accessible for buggies and those with mobility challenges. From Nov 2023 - Oct 2024 we delivered 4 Wild Women sessions to build confidence and nurture creativity and connection. We established a bi-weekly Volunteer Group to maintain the site in April 2024 through to July 2024.
Our stakeholders are the participants in our sessions (whether they have paid or attend fully-funded sessions), partner organisations, funders, local outdoor practitioners and the landowners we rent our sites from. We continued to maintain contact with our stakeholders and the wider community through social media channels, Facebook groups and our email newsletter, inviting the community followers to give us feedback. Feedback is collected regularly as part of the session evaluation which informs our session planning and development of further sessions. We also encourage people on the mailing list to contact us with ideas for future sessions. We attended networking meetings and liaised with local organisations, especially the Churn Project, Deer Park School and social prescribers from GRCC (Gloucestershire Rural Community Council), Cotswold Landscapes and the 2gether NHS Foundation Trust We also continued to liaise with the landowners where we run our sessions, namely the Bathurst Estate. We continued as admins of an informal support and networking group for local Forest School practitioners through What’s App which serves as a platform for local freelance practitioners and Forest Schools to network, seek work, advertise work and consult with other practitioners for peer support.
