We are passionate about supporting each other as peers to come together to scope out rest, connection and re-connection especially at times of tough deployment cycles, extended separations and the complexities of adjusting to life around ever changing and unpredictable scheduling.
Because we care, we have been developing a nature based therapeutic program specifically for those who identify as needing a break, rest and time to reconnect with themselves.
A 'Wild Spa' and playful nature based sensory experience for those who would like to rest and recover.
We are in the process of exploring funding to offer free family and group nature based retreats. We also intend to run creative expressive workshops for families, young people and adults to offer opportunities to capture our communities authentic voice and share ideas and creativity along with partners from the Forces connected community.
Our pilot programs are due to start in 2027 pending funding. If you are interested in supporting this work or engaging in pilot research please reach out to the team at admin@riseandrewild.co.uk

I didn't realise I needed this but
it was the best release from
daily life in challenging times.
More please.
So much support, kindness
and fun has been had by all and
I have met the most wonderful
and supportive mums on this
journey
- all thanks to your
hard work.
This group came at the right time in our
journey into parenthood, from a lonely start
due to lockdown, not knowing any other
mum's or babies, we've made lots of friends
and have had support and advice through
some more challenging times. We will be
forever grateful to this group.
'Absolutely an amazing experience from volunteers and has helped with relaxing and focussing on myself. If this was available more often it would help a lot of people.'
Informative, interesting, eye opening. Who knew we had eight senses not five! Thinking about how to support my son in a different way and will always be grateful for the help and support.
