About Us
The Speedwell Trust Limited is a registered charity and it is our ambition to create a better world for children and young people by removing barriers through our shared education programmes and family support work; and by equipping with children and young people and their families with the skills needed to overcome adversity, be resilient and be able to deal with the challenges life can bring.
We have four key areas of focus which are:
- Shared Education – helping to break down barriers and create a more inclusive society and to equip children and young people with the skills and knowledge to bring about positive and lasting change
- Eco-education – educating children and young people about the natural world and equipping them with the skills and understanding on how they can play a role in safeguarding the world around them.
- Wellbeing – using the forest we take a nature-based approach to deliver woodland wellbeing programmes to help children and young people understand how to look after their physical and mental health and wellbeing.
- Family Support – working with parents and carers to help them develop the skills, confidence and resilience to nurture and develop their children. This is aimed at families with primary school aged children.
