The Wild Network

The Wild Network's mission is to re-connect UK kids with the outdoors. Roam Free. Play Wild.

Working with a diverse group of stakeholders including National Trust, National Health Service, Green Lions filmmakers, BritDoc and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, we co-created a growing movement: The Wild Network. This saw the launch of a film (Project Wild Thing) and a grassroots people-powered movement composed of 15,000 individuals and a growing network of nearly 3500 organisations, all dedicated to getting kids playing outside and reconnecting with nature.

Our role initially has been to hatch and nurture the movement, acting as a creative and strategic backbone for this new 'organising'. We have helped steer the entity from start-out to start-up including the recruitment of an operating board, development of the business plan and using Swarm approaches to engage the community in participating in the spread and development of the network.
