Company activities and impact

Our mission is to build inclusive communities that support personal growth, develop a connection in nature and offer opportunities for outdoor experiences. Our bespoke and tailored sessions will benefit the target groups by offering up a safe place for mindful craft and play to take place with qualified forest school leaders. Outdoor skills such as basic tool use, nature crafts and gardening activities will provide participants with physicality, camaraderie, improved well-being and a range of learning opportunities about the natural environment alongside personal development skills too. Personal development benefits include improved communication skills, problem solving skills, resilience and greater self-esteem and confidence as well as a sense of achievement. Health benefits from being outdoors and mindfulness activities such as crafting, gardening, meditation, yoga and outdoor free play include lower blood pressure and reduced stress levels. We also hope to reintroduce FUN into the lives of those with whom we work. We build confidence, raise self-esteem and support teamwork and personal development using a variety of programmes and courses. We offer funded sessions – free to families –at Emmelines Pantry, Projkets Skatepark and Philips Park in Whitefield, and have been part of events the wider City Centre to bring nature connection to the urban environment. Emmelines Pantry is based in an inner-city location, in which we provide access to a tranquil and inspiring Community garden for South Manchester’s residents. The Conker Crew Collective has benefited the local community in the following ways: Provided free sessions to families in the local community throughout the year where they can craft and learn how to grow food. Worked collaboratively with Projekts Skatepark to host a ‘Conker Crew Takeover’ in the City Centre where forest school activities were combined with skateboarding lessons for young children, 25% of tickets offered free for those on low incomes. Provided low cost sessions to Proud2Be Parents to support children’s mental health and engagement with nature. These include group campfire cooking. Hosted Willow weaving events and community events to support adults wellbeing and provide mindful seasonal crafts and activities, with tickets offered at no cost to those in need. The Conker Crew Collective has supported Emmelines Pantry by developing and helping to maintain the Community Garaden, and by providing funded sessions that are free to service users including those for well-being, promoting healthy eating and SEND sessions. The company has provided part-time employment to 3 local residents.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are residents (children and parents) of South Manchester and Inner City Manchester. We work alongside Projekts Skatepark and provide sessions there for the community. We have held gardening and growing sessions for both adults and children. We have also held willow weaving workshops for families using funding from Arnold Clarke Community fund. We also work alongside Emmelines Food Pantry which is a food bank based in Chorlton, south Manchester. Here we have provided Women’s wellbeing sessions which include seed swaps, learning to grow food to eat, learning about horticulture and we have provided skills for mental wellbeing e.g. meditation, grounding, opportunities to socialise. We have provided a number of sessions for an LGBTQ charity, Proud2Be Parents including a youth group, SEND sessions and Families Through Adoption. These have all been well received by the families involved and gave them an opportunity to meet families similar to theirs. One of the two directors of the company has lived and raised their family in south Manchester and has close links with both Projekts and Emmelines Pantry. They developed the business model for the company based on their experience of talking to other local parents. Both the directors are experienced forest school leaders. We consult children and adults informally at each session in an age-appropriate manner. This can be a suggestion box for older children, coming together around the campfire at the end of a session to share children’s views of the sessions. For younger children feedback can be through observation informing planning for the following weeks. During adult sessions, time for feedback is built into the close of each session. We share experiences and discuss what would be most valued for the forthcoming sessions. We use social media to gauge interest in new events, times and locations of sessions using polls and message requests primarily on Instagram and Facebook. In addition, we distributed feedback questionnaires at our ‘wheel of the year’ events. We meet with Emmelines informally to discuss day to day issues and have a formal Directors meeting at least every 6 months to discuss projects and work cooperatively to improve and develop the community garden.
