Rooted in the Neroche Forest just outside Taunton, we work to enable people to become a beneficial part of a beautiful, healthy ecosystem. Our vision is for a reciprocal, healing relationship between land and people, where nature flourishes, and people are restored. We are based at Young Wood, 100 acres of the public forest estate, 15 mins from the county town of Taunton. Our unique lease with Forestry England has enabled us to collaborate with people to create a camp area deep in the woods, to build a roundhouse, pole barn for firewood and storage, a warm cabin for meetings and training, a camp kitchen and three composting loos.
We offer a welcoming, non-judgmental, and transformative place for people of all ages and backgrounds to create community, by listening, learning, doing, making, and sharing. We focus especially on those for whom reaching natural places is hardest, and who, because of isolation, trauma, or exclusion, have the most to gain. We tend the land to create a richer place for all creatures.
As a community benefit society and exempt charity, our governance is held by seven directors, three of whom are executive directors and are paid for non-governance work. We have an additional team of six freelancers and more than 35 volunteers who help with group sessions and look after the woods. Our turnover is usually about £100k per year, with most of our income being grants, contracts and charged-for work. We are currently bidding for bigger grants to enable multi-year funding and increasing our turnover through training courses and other fundraising efforts.
