Why an Awards Show? 🌱
We recognise there is exceptional work taking place in Bristol to bring people into nature that improves wellbeing. Such work, projects + programmes are often under the radar.
We believe in the benefits of this work, especially for communities that are under-represented and under-served in nature and outdoor landscapes.
We want to increase the dial to:
💫Celebrate successes and impacts of those delivering this work
💫Showcase the fundamental benefits of enhancing belonging
+ wellbeing in outdoor spaces
💫Motivate and encourage the actions of others.
We feel it is imperative to highlight exceptional people and organisations who open doors to enable and support access that improves wellbeing in nature.
