Positive Role Models Grant
Each year we offer heavily-subsidised places on our adventures to those least represented in the outdoors so that they can become positive role models in their communities. These go to women who identify as minority ethnic, disabled or from a low-income household.
When applications open, they are shared in our newsletter and on our social media pages for women to apply. The chosen women are selected at random.
KMB Grant
In 2020 Kat Marsden-Broad, an active and much loved member of the Love Her Wild community, lost her battle with mental Illness. In her memory, we have launched the KMB Grant. Each year the grant will provide two women suffering or recovering from mental illness of any description a heavily-subsidised place on our Wild Weekends. Our Wild Weekends focus on time in nature and community.
Outdoor Leaders Grant
To bridge the gender gap in the outdoors, we are working to support women to gain professional outdoor qualifications. These opportunities are given to our Local Wilders who run our Love Her Wild local groups. We recognise that supporting these women in gaining qualifications boosts their confidence and provides them with new skills to better carry out their roles and serve the women in their communities.
Promising leaders are invited to apply and, in return for funding, agree to deliver at least two free adventures for the community. This could be anything from running a navigation training weekend to leading a hike up a mountain.
Love Her Wild Mentoring
Starting out in adventure can be difficult. There are so many things to get your head around! How do you work out where to sleep each night? How far should I plan to travel each day? What do I eat? How exactly do I go to the toilet outdoors?!
That’s why we set up the Love Her Wild Mentor Scheme. Women are matched with experienced adventurers who can help them prepare for a more active life outdoors. To be accountable and to have someone there to answer questions. Read about our previous mentoring matches here.
