New Wave Wild Project is a not-for-profit social enterprise. We design and deliver intensive adventure therapy interventions for young people, adults, and families towards recovery, resilience, and self-care.

Adventure Therapy delivers professional mental health interventions using experiential learning approaches in natural outdoor spaces.

Our Mission

We aim to deliver person-centred, dynamic, and impactful therapeutic opportunities by engaging participants in traditional approaches through the creative medium of the outdoors. Where possible, our mission is to remove barriers of access by sourcing funding and collaborating with services.

How We Work

We combine professional social work with therapeutic tools including REBT (CBT) and mindfulness, and we deliver all sessions in natural blue and green outdoor spaces to create opportunities for skill development, self-reflection and therapeutic discussion.

Our work is person-centred, strengths-based, and solution-focused. We specialise in engaging those who have complex needs and who are hard to reach with our unique one-to-one therapeutic intervention programmes. At present, our work is having the greatest impact on young people who are 'at-risk' or hard to reach because of a reluctance to engage with traditional therapy.

Our programmes are uniquely designed around the individual's needs and we draw on a professional toolkit of skills and strategies to support each person.

We work collaboratively with local and national organisations, and we seek funding and grants to reduce barriers of access to support as many people as we can to take part.
