Term time groups in South Gloucestershire & Bristol
Our South Gloucestershire and Bristol groups provide welcoming, child-led woodland experiences for children who may experience barriers to participation, belonging or wellbeing. Activities include outdoor play, exploration, campfires, creativity and time to connect with other people and nature.
Our groups are low-demand, sensory-aware and shaped around the individual child. No diagnosis is required.
Some groups are funded through grants or local partnerships, while others are paid for directly by families. Ages, eligibility and availability vary, so please check the information for each group carefully.
