Why do people come to Get Out More projects?  Find out about what our partners, trainees and participants think about our forest schools and other projects in our new short film.

Sue Barker joined our Outdoor Future course in May to explore skills and options for outdoor careers.  Since completing the course she has been volunteering with Get Out More on its projects in Bradford and Keighley and has now developed the skills and confidence to set up as a freelance practitioner.  She's been helping out with our play sessions and, after she completes her Level 3 forest school training, hopes to run forest schools too.  

"I think the training and volunteering is a great starting point for anyone interested in working outdoors", says Sue

"I have loved every second; rain or shine"

"I'm going to take my knowledge and encourage everyone to get outside in the fresh air

These are just two comments from forest school trainees on our course last week.  Get Out More now is able to offer the level 1 Introduction to Forest School course from Kindling Play and Training, here in Bradford and Keighley

If you would like to take part in  Level 1 forest school training, check for dates on our website or register your interest with us today.

Residents in the Keighley Big Local area were taken to a trip to Harlow Carr gardens in Harrogate to round off our Edible Streets project.  Edible Streets is funded by National Lottery Community Fund and aimed to reduce loneliness and isolation through gardening, which culminated in a harvest and trip to the RHS Harlow Carr garden!  We explored the vegetable and flower gardens and had afternoon tea at Betty's.

We've been measuring the impact our activities have on participants to better understand the difference it makes to get out more with us.    Physical activity, mental wellbeing, social and nature connections - the figures are now in - and published on our newly updated website
