Empowering young women through nature and connection

Welcome to SisterWood

At SisterWood, we empower girls aged 12-16 by collaboratively building a toolkit for mental health and wellbeing. Designed specifically for young people who identify as female, our programme equips them with the skills they need to build resilience during the transformative years of their teens.

Set in the tranquil ancient woodlands of Devon, our forest school sessions foster a sense of empowerment, community, and connection to nature.

Growth

We invite girls to explore, experiment, and take brave steps, rooted in a space where they can grow at their own pace.

Connection

In a world where young women often feel disconnected, we create space to rebuild connection, belonging, and self-worth.

Empowerment

We meet each young person where they are, walking beside them as they step into their own power.

SisterWood is rooted in community. Every donation and every hour volunteered helps create spaces where girls can feel safe, seen and supported. Together, we're growing a community of care that helps more girls connect with nature, discover their strengths and know they belong.
