Story
BEING Outdoors CIC run outdoor nature connection programmes to support the wellbeing of children, young people and adults. Our outdoors spaces include parks, school playing fields as well as woodland settings. We want to provide a warm indoor space that is also transportable between our settings so that we can offer shelter, a warm indoor space and hot food and drinks all year round. A yurt and fitted stove would allow us to do this.
A yurt and stove would enable us to have flexibility on where we can run our sessions so that we can target our programmes to where a need is identified e.g. providing access for all at a local park for young people or running a programme for adults to support mental health. It means we can provide a safe, nurturing space where together the people can connect with each other and build a community.
