Empowering Young People Through Nature, Wellbeing, and Adventure
Generation Green is a programme funded by DEFRA to offer residential visits aiming to connect underserved children and young people with our National Landscapes, fostering a lifelong relationship with nature and improving their wellbeing.
By enhancing nature connectedness, we aim to inspire a new generation of environmental ambassadors and support the nation’s health, wellbeing, and economic recovery.
We are offering funding for schools with a high percentage of their pupils eligible for pupil premium funding, and organisations who support underserved young people for a one-night residential and/or a farm visit in the Surrey Hills National Landscape.
Register your interest via the form below, and one of our team be in touch to co-design your session if you are eligible for the programme.
Project runs until March 2025.
- Young people need to be aged 7-18 years old
- Group sizes can be 12-20 people.
- Groups must have their own staff supervision supplied by the school/organisation in addition to the activity providers.
- If you are applying as a school, you must have a high percentage of your pupils eligible for pupil premium funding or be supporting children with special educational needs.
- If you are applying as a community group or charity, you must be supporting young people who are underserved in the community.
