On 7 August 2025, the ECI team will step away from their daily routines to take part in a sponsored "Sleep Out in Nature," supporting the incredible work of the Wilderness Foundation.

A group of eight ECI team members will spend the night immersed in the Foundation’s 92-acre woodland—completely alone, without technology, and surrounded only by the natural world. Each person will camp in their own secluded spot, embracing solitude, reflection, and a deep reconnection with nature.

This unique experience not only raises vital funds for the Wilderness Foundation’s mission but also invites participants to slow down, unplug, and rediscover the power of the wild.

The Wilderness Foundation UK harnesses the power of the wilderness and nature to transform vulnerable lives and empowers people, in return, to conserve nature. Each year, the foundation works with over 8,000 people, including some of the hardest-to-reach and most disadvantaged young people and adults. All of their projects and programmes provide direct support, connecting people to nature, helping improve mental and physical wellbeing and teaching people to care for the natural world, using nature as a therapeutic tool.
