What is the Down to Earth project?

In a nutshell, we believe a relationship centred and meaningful, outdoor experiences have the potential to change people’s lives… we do this through innovative and inclusive approaches such as creating remarkable buildings with natural materials, award-winning learning & well-being programmes and also through adventure activities from our 2 hand-built centres on the Gower

It just so happens that being outdoors and actually doing sustainability is great for increasing quality of life and well-being. As well as helping you feel better about yourself, it acts as a stepping stone for re-engaging in learning through appropriate methods.
We try new things and sustainability is embedded throughout our entire approach. We offer a solutions-based approach and try to inspire change in the people we work with.
