Our Mission Statement

“delivering education and wellbeing in harmony with nature”

Green Light Trust facilitates opportunities for people to access the natural environment as a way of improving their personal and social circumstances and knowledge.

As a result of attending our programmes, we aim for people to have improved their confidence, self-esteem and leave feeling physically and mentally stronger and environmentally more aware.

We provide access to education and enlightenment through outdoor activity, increasing understanding of the natural world and fostering respect for the planet to secure its sustainability for future generations.

Our Ethos

Our guiding principle is for people to care for each other, wildlife and the planet.

We try to ensure in all we do to show respect for other people and the natural world.

Decisions we make and actions we take are considered in two ways;

1. the impact on people and the environment

2. the adverse implication for future generations

• We do what we can to respond to inequality and disadvantage for people and animals
• We do what we can to reverse environmental contamination, destruction and unnatural decline.
• We improve behaviour towards the environment through personal experience and education

Our Core Values

• Respect for the planet and those that share it
• That the natural environment should be managed to ensure its health and longevity
• Actions are informed by knowledge and experience so people understand the effects of actions and decisions on others and the natural world now and in the future.
• Where possible, reverse the results of damage, destruction and neglect on the natural environment
• People should be treated with respect and have the opportunity to enjoy life to the full
• People should have the opportunity to change their behaviour
• Inequality should be redressed.
• People should feel in control of their own experience and actions
• That education should be delivered inclusive of outdoor experience and embrace sustainable values

Why we exist

• Because the planet, environment, wildlife, flora and forna are in decline, which spells disaster for evryone
• Because the health of the human species is also in decline and is progressively effecting younger people, and the resources needed to cope are not able to keep pace.
