East Malling rates poorly on multiple indices of deprivation. Many people in our community face social isolation, food insecurity, and limited access to hands-on learning opportunities. This is especially true for neurodivergent young people or those with special educational needs, adults with additional needs, and those struggling in mainstream education. There is also a disconnect between people and the natural world, healthy food, and environmental sustainability.
We deliver therapeutic, practical and inclusive outdoor learning sessions rooted in organic food growing, biodiversity, and community. We offer structured programmes for young people in SEND and mainstream education, adults with additional needs & local volunteers. We use nature as a tool to improve confidence, wellbeing, employability & food literacy - meeting the complex needs of our local community while providing a sheltered space for them to grow, learn & heal.
