why us?

‘k.i.n’ is an established grassroots organisation based in east london, founded by its directors misty twigg and rhiannon leyland. through our forest school programmes and other offerings, we foster community, and wellbeing for ourselves, each other and nature.

we have a team of qualified facilitators as well as a thriving volunteer programme through which we have offered guidance and mentorship. we have always opened the gates to our forest and offered support to people along the way. having started workshops and trainings last year, enabling others is something we are passionate about.

our project is experiencing more demand than we are currently able to meet and so we are finding other ways to expand our reach so that the transformative quality of ‘forest school’ can be accessed and experienced by more children and communities. 

‘k.i.n’ is frequently approached by others for support in setting up forest school provision. as directors, we have consulted on numerous projects locally and internationally.
