It’s been another busy year at Get Out More, with the months being full of new projects and the team settling into The Gatehouse. The move to own premises in the park has created such a positive shift in the way we work and how communities engage with our projects. Throughout 2024 we have been collecting data about our impact across a range of our services and we are proud to present the results in our 2024 Impact Report. Publishing our impact report represents our commitment to achieving our vision; communities and nature growing healthier together.

You can read the report below, but here are some of the highlights:

• 6105 people in 2024 accessed nature with Get Out More, over 616 sessions – that’s nearly 12 per week!
• Almost 9 out of 10 participants are spending more time in nature – with studies showing that individuals who spend at least 120 minutes a week in nature have increased physical health and mental wellbeing.
• 7 out of 10 of our participants developed new skills with Get Out More in 2024 – A Play Futures participant said that “The future feels more prosperous and exciting… It’s been like dipping my little toe into a big pool. I’m ready for things to open up for me now.”
• 8 out of 10 people feel more connected to their community. One participant said “Participating with Get Out More has reduced my social isolation and motivated me to get out and about”
