The Bay Trust is dedicated to improving lives through outdoor learning and connections with nature. We do this through a combination of educational disciplines: Architecture, Arts, Science and Health. When you visit us everything around you is about reconnecting with the natural world. Based at two campuses between Dover and Deal our inspiring learning spaces include dedicated outdoor classrooms, an award winning eco venue, organic garden and tea room. All these projects involve cooperating with nature to improve the biodiversity of the land we manage. They would not exist without the efforts of our dedicated trustees, staff and volunteers as well as the organisations we are partnered with. Many different groups benefit from visit us. Mainstream and special schools can visit for drop in sessions or week long residentials. Adults with additional needs and the long term unemployed come daily to engage in gardening and admin skills. Individual learners from local colleges can take advantage of formal apprenticeships. These include horticulture and organic land management as well as skills in accounting and marketing for the third sector. All of the programmes we offer are designed to enhance self awareness, nurture productive relationships and help manage personal or social challenges. These could range from limited opportunities, ill health, exclusion from mainstream education or simply a transition between different stages in life. Supporting people and the environment they inhabit is at the heart of what we do. To get involved as an individual or as an organisation see baytrust.org.uk or call us on 01304 851 737.
