Human-Nature Connect

In November 2022 the BA Better World fund supported 30 disadvantaged young artists from diverse urban backgrounds to stay in Ingleton for 3-days to bring their creative wellbeing practices to be with the hills and limestone pavements, and within caves of the Yorkshire Dales. It cost more than £10,000 to support this free-of-charge HUMAN-NATURE CONNECT residency that included accommodation, meals, transportation, facilitation, outdoors health & safety support and equipment, filming and tree planting to benefit the environment.

The Intercultural Roots and Cross Pollination communities have already donated much needed personal funds to support Human-Nature Connect plus two other residency and eco-anxiety projects that have already taken place in October and December this year.  We now urgently need funds to support more people to better connect with and appreciate the environment and benefit their mental health in 2023.

With your support we will be able to plan further residencies that benefit the mental health and wellbeing of more young disadvantaged young artists providing them with a once in a lifetime opportunity to be with the natural environment in uniquely beneficial ways.

For employees of British Airways this is an opportunity to support the environment through a project that reconnects people with places while also planting trees.
