Our Story
Wandering Emotions CIC was born from a winning idea in an international competition to improve youth mental health.
Today, we run Nature Wellbeing Activity Walks that encourage families to engage with nature in a unique, fun way. We spark essential conversations about feelings and teach skills that nurture resilience.
This joyful approach empowers children and provides adults with practical, preventative tools to effectively reduce the associated stigma. Our work is powered by a dedicated volunteer team. Each of us is passionate about ensuring every family has a fun, unique, and supportive experience.
Our Values
Empowering Wellbeing and Communication
We aim to empower both children and guardians to discuss emotions and inner wellbeing with confidence. We help integrate these open, supportive conversations into your daily family life from an early age.
Reducing Stigma
Through our fun, accessible approach, we aspire to dismantle barriers surrounding emotional discussions and reduce the stigma associated with seeking support.
Community Building & Nature Connection
Get involved with local families and promote a deep connection with nature through community activities. It’s the perfect, supportive outdoor activity for your children!
