Our vision
Wild Purpose envisions a community where people of all ages feel connected, understood, and valued. We want to break down the walls between generations by creating spaces where all younger and older adults can learn from each other, share experiences, and grow together.
Our mission
We bring people of all ages together through meaningful workshops and mentoring that help them understand one another, gain fresh perspectives, and grow life skills—cultivating purpose, connection, and community.
We are working to facilitate the connection of 1000 intergenerational pairs in Brighton & Hove by 2030.
Our programmes
Intergenerational mentoring
We run a mentoring programme for 18+ in the community and with businesses/organisations. Our mentoring programme has two important features:
We use a type of mentoring called 'co-mentoring' where each participant is both a ‘learner’ and a ‘teacher’ participating in a reciprocal exchange of knowledge, stories and experiences
Our session activities are also inspired by, or held in, nature which is a positive and non-hierarchical learning space.
Nurtured in Nature workshops
An experiential nature-based learning workshop for multiple generations to come together to nurture personal growth and sow seeds for ideas for creating change and creative exploration. Our workshops invite intergenerational groups to explore with courage, creativity and curiosity.
