St Nicks

Who are we?

We are St Nicks, based at St Nicks Environment Centre hidden behind residential properties in the Tang Hall area of York. We have a thriving 24-acre nature reserve that is free to explore and enjoy.

At St Nicks we all see and feel the benefits of being outdoors and connected to nature. These benefits can be physical, mental or a combination of both! Our Nature-Based Wellbeing team run groups and activities for both adults and children.

What do we offer?

Our new outdoor youth group, Urban Wild, will get young people, aged 11-16, into nature and trying out new skills.

Activities may include: cooking on the campfire, bushcraft skills, building birdhouses, learning heritage crafts and lots more (let us know what you want to try)!

When and where?

Thursday evenings 4:30-6:00pm for blocks of 6 weeks, starting from 5th June.

Sessions are free to join and based at St Nicks Environment Centre, Rawdon Ave, York, YO10 3FW and the Local Nature Reserve.

Who can get involved?

11-16 year olds.

We are particularly interested in supporting those who are feeling isolated, experiencing pressure from peers or live locally to St Nicks nature reserve.

How to sign up: Places are limited and application is by referral from the young person, parents, carers, teachers and agencies.
