Our impact report4 years ago

Hi, It has been a while since we finished crowdfunding and we are pleased to say that we have now officially delivered our project, yeah! Please do have a look at our impact report which can be found on our Spacehive page - www.spacehive.com/intonaturecic. There is also information there about how to stay in touch with us, which we very much hope you will be, plus links to our programme schedules. The crowdfunder was of course just the beginning, and the tools, equipment and training we have received will serve us and our community (you!) for years to come. The campaign has made a massive difference to us as Into Nature CIC directors, the organisation, and the people we work with. Thank you so much for being involved, it does mean a lot to us! We hope to see you again soon! Britta, Carrie and Emily, Into Nature CIC

Nearly there!5 years ago

We are so very nearly there - 94% funded and only £255 to go! As you probably know, we have been successful in getting the funding through Cotswold District Council and have just had another incredibly generous pledge. A huge, heartfelt thank you goes to all of you! Not much further to go, but Spacehive is an all-or-nothing platform, so we still need to raise the last 6%. Please could you help us by spreading the word once more amongst your networks? Or you might know a business that might be able to back us? If so, please let us know so that we can get in touch with them. Together we can do this! Thank you!! Britta, Carrie, Emily and the Into Nature CIC team

Into Nature CIC is your local community for Forest School, training and wellbeing in nature. Our wonderful woodland site is at Hailey Wood, on the Bathurst Estate near Cirencester; we also work on sites around Stroud.

Into Nature’s mission is for everyone to become connected to nature - for health, wellbeing and empowerment. We are passionate about making Forest School experiences available to everyone, especially those whose circumstances prevent them from having regular access to nature, be it through finances, disabilities or other factors.

Our focus is to bring people together, tackling isolation and enabling connections, no matter what your background or age might be – everyone is welcome and a valued part of the community.

We already run some regular groups and sessions for the community:

Outdoor parent & toddler groups
Baby Forest Bathing
Therapeutic Story Days for ages 8-12 years
Women’s sessions
Networking and training for Forest School practitioners

We have started forming partnerships with other local organisations and charities and are part of a regional social prescribing network in order to set up opportunities for those who would benefit most from our programmes.

We hope to run more programmes of wellbeing and woodland skills for women, young people and adults, intergenerational sessions and team wellbeing days for organisations.
