One Planet Matters has been set up to support & enable communities to create environmental and social change. We are working to achieve this through the development of a vision that focuses on 4 Key areas

- Improving local biodiversity

- Supporting local food security

- Promoting nature-based health & well-being opportunities for communities and NHS providers.

- Developing nature-based education in the Primary sector

This vision translates into our core projects

Hello!

Welcome to One Planet Matters!

What do we do?

Community Orchards and Nature Areas

We support communities and a range of organisations to develop and then manage community orchards and nature areas in a way that also supports improved biodiversity. These spaces provide opportunities for Community and Corporate Volunteers and are also used for Health and Wellbeing Delivery.

Nature, Health, and Wellbeing Network

Through this network, we provide nature-based activities to the community. The focus of our work here is for our delivery team to use nature to support both physical and mental wellbeing by providing various activities. This network is linked to communities as well as local NHS teams. These activities, held in our community project green spaces, promote mental and physical well-being by connecting people with nature.

Schools' Network

We support schools in delivering nature-based learning through our Awards scheme. We work with them to develop their outside spaces by focusing on developing School Orchards and improving biodiversity over a number of years, supporting each school's move towards Gold Certification in Biodiversity and Growing. This program also offers curriculum-based activities that help schools improve their biodiversity and teach children sustainable growing methods. Schools earn certificates as they progress, recognising their commitment to environmental stewardship.
