Helping people improve their physical and mental health through participating in the natural world through various outdoor activities.
Who We Are
WinG Outdoor Activities is a community-focused organisation based in Tyne and Wear, dedicated to improving health, well-being, and connection with nature through free and low-cost outdoor activities. We provide adults, families, young people, and community groups with opportunities to enjoy the outdoors safely, learn practical skills, and engage with the natural environment. Our activities include woodland conservation, bushcraft, hill walking, canoeing, rock climbing, cycling, and outdoor education.
Why We Are Crowdfunding
We are crowdfunding to help more people improve their physical and mental health through participation in outdoor activities. Our project will provide opportunities to learn new skills, meet new people, connect with nature, and support and protect the environment. By funding this work, you are helping us deliver hands-on woodland conservation, adventurous outdoor experiences, and engaging environmental education sessions that promote well-being, resilience, and a stronger connection to the natural world.
What we spend the money on
We will spend the money on providing free accessible outdoor sessions to people who normally wouldn't have the means and resources to engage with nature. Funding will provide delivery of various outdoor education sessions, free minibus transportation, free use of all necessary outdoor equipment and all associated legal and core costs for operation.
Community Impact
WinG Outdoor Activities aims to create lasting, positive impacts on the physical health, mental well-being, and social cohesion of communities in Tyne and Wear. By providing free and low-cost outdoor activities, we seek to:
Improve Physical and Mental Health: Encourage regular outdoor activity such as walking, cycling, bushcraft, canoeing, and climbing, helping participants reduce stress, improve fitness, and build resilience.
Foster Social Inclusion and Connection: Bring people together across all ages and backgrounds, including disadvantaged and isolated groups, creating opportunities to meet new people, share experiences, and build supportive networks.
Promote Environmental Stewardship: Engage communities in hands-on conservation and outdoor education, fostering a sense of responsibility for local green spaces and wildlife.
Develop Practical Skills and Confidence: Teach outdoor skills, navigation, bushcraft, and conservation techniques, empowering participants to take on challenges and gain confidence in themselves.
Encourage Community Ownership: Inspire participants to continue caring for local natural spaces, volunteer, and share knowledge within their own communities.
Support Sustainable Outdoor Learning: Provide a safe and accessible platform for adults, families, and young people to explore and learn in nature, ensuring long-term engagement with outdoor activities and environmental awareness.
Through these outcomes, WinG Outdoor Activities aims to strengthen healthier, happier, and more connected communities, while fostering a lifelong appreciation of nature and sustainable practices.
