Under the Sky Events empowers care experienced people to create personal and social change through real and meaningful experiences in a natural environment.
We want to help adults from all walks of life to try something new that may be just what they need to change their perspective in life. Recently published studies report that the benefits of going for a walk can last for seven hours, imagine what a few days or longer could do as it seems that just exposing ourselves to the sky turns on the magic. |
If there is a strong link between exposure to nature and wellbeing who better to benefit than care experienced adults, who may return to their personal environments feeling energised and in better spirits after joining us on one of our interesting and fun programmes.
Young people who were cared-for grow into adults who are forced to be independent much younger than their peers and without the support network of a family. |
