Get Out // Advancing Environmental Education In Young Bame Communities

Did you know that three quarters of UK children spend less time outdoors than prison inmates? There is a growing disconnect between the UK's young people and the natural world, and i feel it’s important to acknowledge that young people from BAME households visit their natural environment less often than white children or those from higher income families. I believe ALL young people should have the same access to the natural world and I’m confident those with a traditionally limited experience of the environment can become some of the strongest voices for its protection.

Get Out are a new charity that offer environmental education and outdoor adventure for free to the children of Tower Hamlets – the area with the highest rates of child poverty in the UK. Later this year we will hopefully be taking a group of kids from inner city London to the beach to surf, camp and of course do a #2minutebeachclean. Get Out are also working on Tower Hamlets becoming plastic free with Surfers Against Sewage and growing their own organic veg at the schools. But we need your help!

The crowdfunder will be running until the 14th of August, please help us reach our goal and make a real difference both in young peoples lives and for the future of our environment.
