🚣‍♂️🌿 WinG Outdoor Activities was proud to support the Paddle UK Big Paddle Clean Up and do our bit for the environment along the beautiful River Tyne.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined today’s river clean up session, helping remove litter and reduce plastic pollution from our waterways. Through teamwork, community spirit and a shared care for nature, we helped make a positive difference for wildlife, river users and the local environment.

Protecting and preserving our blue spaces is so important, and it was fantastic to see people coming together outdoors to support a cleaner and healthier river for everyone to enjoy.

Thank you again to all our brilliant volunteers and helpers who took part today! 🌊♻️

🌿 Today WinG Outdoor Activities took a group out as part of our John Muir Award programme, an inspiring environmental award that encourages people to discover, explore, conserve and share experiences in wild places.

The group enjoyed a fantastic day on the coast, helping to care for the environment through a beach litter pick, creating natural art using materials found along the shoreline, and observing a local seal colony in its natural habitat.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with nature, learn about the environment and appreciate the wildlife and landscapes that make our coastline so special.

This is just the beginning, with many more exciting activities planned as part of our John Muir Award programme.

If your community group, charity, youth group or family would like to take part in outdoor environmental activities and gain the John Muir Award, we would love to hear from you.

🌿 Did you know this week is Mental Health Awareness Week?

So today WinG Outdoor Activities took a group out for a gentle wellbeing walk along the magnificent Northumberland coastline. Breathing in the cool fresh sea air, walking at a relaxed pace, sharing conversations and enjoying time outdoors together — all simple but powerful ways to support positive mental health and wellbeing.

Spending time in nature can help reduce stress, improve mood, encourage physical activity and create valuable social connection. Sometimes a walk outdoors, surrounded by open space and natural scenery, can make a real difference to how we feel.

If you or your organisation would like to arrange an outdoor wellbeing activity for your group, please get in touch.

In March we enjoyed a gentle canoe paddle surrounded by pleasant scenery, fresh air and peaceful water. It was a wonderful opportunity to combine light physical exercise with positive social connection while spending time outdoors in nature.

Stopping en route for a relaxing coffee break, we took time to appreciate the calm surroundings before continuing our journey and exploring further along the water. The group returned back to base feeling proud of their paddling trip, refreshed by the outdoors and satisfied from a healthy day of activity — certainly ready for a good night’s sleep afterwards!

Outdoor experiences like these can provide so many benefits for wellbeing, helping reduce stress, improve confidence and encourage positive social interaction in supportive natural environments.

If you or your group would like to experience one of our outdoor wellbeing activities, please get in touch.
