Our Projects
Not all growth happens inside a classroom.
For many children, especially those who experience the world more intensely, safety, connection, and confidence are rebuilt slowly, in places where there is space to breathe, to move, and to simply be themselves.
Our community projects create those spaces.
We offer gentle, relationship-led experiences outside of school, rooted in nature, creativity, and connection. These sessions are not about outcomes or expectations. They are about restoring a sense of safety in the world, rebuilding trust in relationships, and allowing each child to re-discover their own rhythm.
Families attend together. There is no pressure to separate, perform, or participate in a particular way. Parents, siblings and carers are welcomed as part of the experience, because we know that when families feel safe and supported, children do too.
Across parks, community spaces, and natural environments, our practitioners walk alongside families ... offering calm presence, creative invitations, and spaces where nervous systems can settle.
Over time, these moments become something powerful.
A child who could not leave the house walks into the park. A family who felt alone finds community.
Connection returns.
This is where healing begins ... not through force, but through safety, understanding, and relationship.
Current Projects
The Creative Arts Project
We run regular arts-focused groups delivered by a local interior designer. We support neurodivergent children (Autism/ADHD/PDA) with high levels of anxiety that prevent them from engaging in mainstream education and leave them extremely socially isolated, and target our free-to-access support at children from low-income households who are not accessing help elsewhere.
We run two 1.5-hour weekly design sessions with groups of 8-12 children, small enough to allow learning to be child-led, to feel safe and manageable, and to encourage friendships to form.
Activities are co-designed with children around their interests, but will include sessions on interior design, textiles, fashion design and illustration as well as visits to galleries and museums. This teaches children practical skills as well as improving wellbeing through self-expression, promoting social resilience through teamwork, and encouraging new social connections.
What we offer is not only a creative outlet, but a supportive community where isolated neurodivergent children can build self-confidence, forge friendships, and improve their mental health.
Past Projects
The Gardening Project
The Wildheart Foundation is ran gentle, nature-based sessions at Boston Manor Park.
These sessions are designed for neurodivergent children (Autism/ADHD/PDA) aged 5–14 who may experience the world more deeply, and who benefit from calm, creative, sensory-rich spaces where nothing is expected and everything is welcomed.
Led by Wildheart-trained, DBS-checked practitioners

This is about creating moments of safety, connection, and quiet joy, in nature, and together.
