who are we?

Attwood Learning Partnerships is a Community and Environmental focused social enterprise with the following core values:
- Exploring Curiosity and Creativity - Valuing the beauty of the world and being part of nature
- Supporting Equality (through removing barriers) - Having Responsibility and Honesty
- Respect for tradition -Sense of belonging - Being daring and bold
- Embracing Enjoyment, excitement and pleasure in life - Enabling a healthy life
(developed using Common Cause global values sheet)

​It was set up to work with education, health, community and family groups as a response to the increasing need to connect people through meaningful experiences in natural settings. Now more than ever the demands on our time and other possibilities and distractions mean time spent in nature is ever diminishing with significant consequences to our health and well-being. Attwood Learning Partnerships also develops projects with other similar social enterprises and settings to expand what is possible through a shared venture.
