50 THINGS Impact Report
A report published in 2020 by The Royal Foundation highlighted, as one of its key insights, that 7 out of every 10 parents feel judged by others.
Our non-judgemental approach provides parents with the information they need in a non-judgemental way, to increase their knowledge of the activities they can do with their child and removing the unhelpful assumption that you need to be a trained educator to educate.

Nature for Wellbeing
Evidence shows that a thriving, wildlife-rich environment benefits both physical and mental health.
People with nature on their doorstep are more active, mentally resilient and have better all-round health. Every day, the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust is working to bring wildlife to more people, and more people to wildlife. Get involved and make socialising, volunteering, and exercise in natural places central to your daily life.
Daily contact with nature is linked to better health, reduced levels of chronic stress, reductions in obesity and improved concentration. The Wildlife Trusts are rooted in local communities and neighbourhoods, so they can help more people access local nature spots.
They believe that everyone deserves to live in a healthy, wildlife-rich natural world and experience the joy of wildlife every day: for the wellbeing of people and wildlife. For more information click here.
