I loved delivering this training! I have some fantastic colleagues in Barnardo’s who are so open, curious & caring in their approach to learning & sharing that learning with young people.

[Barnardo's Scotland @BarnardosScot]

We’ve kicked off 2022 training more of our staff in our #BWild outdoor therapeutic practice. We’re so grateful to @HeritageFundSCO @HeritageFundUK for the funding to embed this approach as we know it works wonders for children & families!

[Claire Reid @FifeClaire]

Check out @LeoduFeu’s eloquent thread asking @NicolaSturgeon to help the community of Burntisland save a much loved & needed nature space.This is about what kind of Scotland we want to live in ... for me - people, community & health before private interest.

Lovely feedback from the 2day B-Wild training I’ve just been running for @BarnardosScot. Another fab group of project workers enthused about engaging young people and families in creative ways outdoors. @HeritageFundUK

Lovely to reflect on the success of our 2021 'Get Into Summer' programme. Over 1500 young people took part in a range of activities, including exploring the outdoors using the B-Wild approach 🌸🌲

Angry , scared and betrayed . We have been failed and scorned by the stupid , the greedy and the evil . Life is now in mortal danger . But it’s not over , it’s just down to us to do what needs to be done and we need to go to it now . So let’s . . .

#COP26

[Barnardo's Scotland @BarnardosScot]

Young people are making their voices heard at #COP26. @BarnardosScot is proud of our B-Wild project which promotes the benefits of nature to wellbeing and connects families with the outdoors. We need #ClimateActionNow to look after nature, so that nature can look after us.

The #mentalhealth crisis, accelerated by the #COVID #pandemic, has shone a light on the need to get back to #nature. We believe there's nothing better experiencing nature when feeling overwhelmed. Where's your fav place to go for some peace? @suppinmindscot @SAMHtweets

@FooFightersDan Yay! Congrats! Fab for Pathhead pupils!

[Claire Reid @FifeClaire]

I love working with Barnardo’s to embed this therapeutic practice in nature. Play outdoors is so important, nurturing & health-promoting for everyone!

[Barnardo's Scotland @BarnardosScot]

Creating a culture of confidence in offering supports #outdoors has been one of the joys of the last year. Through #BWild our staff have had the chance to learn, play & develop new skills & ideas!

[Claire Reid @FifeClaire]

@maureenmcateer @BarnardosScot @HeritageFundUK Yes!So much evidence that access to high quality green spaces reduces income-related health inequality, improves mental & physical well-being. Access to quality green space is a social justice & environmental issue. The benefits of creating healthy habits where ppl live are huge!

[Claire Reid @FifeClaire]

@lyns06 @pathheadprimary This looks fab! What a perfect role for you this year!

[Claire Reid @FifeClaire]

@NinianStuart This is such a fantastic opportunity! I wish I could make this course in 3 weeks time. I’ll be looking out for the opportunities next year!
