Trustee opportunities

Trustees have a collective responsibility, always act as a group not as individuals, and always in the best interests of the Charity. Here is our Trustee Walk the Loop role description.

We are a small registered charity that exists to promote the holistic learning, development and well-being of young children and those responsible for their care through engaging with nature. We run nature trails, scavenger hunts and related arts and crafts on or near the London Loop, a pathway that skirts Greater London. Our aim is to help children move about with joy and freedom, explore the world around them with curiosity, express themselves and share their experiences with others. Our strap-line is “to ignite a spark that will last a life-time.”

Guided by the values of compassion, generosity of spirit and inclusion, we are concerned that participants in our activities appreciate the beauty of our natural environment while finding out how to sustain and nurture it for future generations especially at a time when biodiversity is threatened by climate change.
