Grow Wild Outreach is a community-based organisation providing inclusive outdoor education, nature-based activities and wellbeing programmes for children, young people and families across Northamptonshire. We are passionate about creating opportunities for everyone to access the benefits of nature, regardless of their background, additional needs or financial circumstances. We work with children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), those with social, emotional and mental health needs, children who are home educated, and families experiencing financial hardship or social isolation. We also deliver Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programmes, family sessions, school partnerships, alternative provision and community projects that promote confidence, resilience, life skills and positive mental wellbeing. As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on grants, fundraising and community partnerships to keep our programmes accessible and affordable. Support through Neighbourly would enable us to provide nutritious food for children and families attending our sessions, reducing food waste while helping to ensure everyone has access to healthy meals and snacks. We also welcome corporate volunteers who can support practical conservation work, site improvements, maintenance projects and community events, helping us create safe, engaging outdoor spaces for the people we support. Our aim is to build stronger, healthier communities by connecting people with nature, supporting wellbeing, developing skills and ensuring that no child or family misses out because of financial barriers.

Hearts and Hands Stafford is a community led non profit organisation; working in the community in Stafford and the surrounding area Helping primarily those affected by hours/reduced income, self employed, part time workers and those who have slipped through the net and need a bit of help. Assisted by local supermarkets supplying surplus food that would normally go to waste and distributing free of charge to the community. We collect and distribute food parcels at no charge to those who are in need. Any donations that come to us will never be sold on for any profits. Hearts and Hands collection points are scattered throughout the area, outside the homes of community minded people who collect dry food and tinned food goods to add to the stock at Hearts and Hands to be given freely. Non food donations, household items and clothing are also collected and given back out into the community or to other charities. We have had many success stories in helping people with their homes who are most vulnerable, we have helped to clear, clean, decorate, refurnish and carpet homes. We do this with the help from the local communities. Working with the blessing of several Stafford Borough Councillors and registered with Support Staffordshire and SCVYS Hearts and Hands Stafford is going from strength to strength with strong committee and great team of key volunteers. Our motto; never look down on someone unless you are helping them up!
