Improving people’s lives through nature, improving nature through people.




The Wellderness






Founded in January 2021 by Matt Dumbleton & Mark Cropley. The Wellderness is a non-profit, community interest company that brings people together in Nature, for workshops, courses & events – all tailored to improve wellbeing, increase knowledge, skills and experiences and raise awareness and encourage action to tackle environmental issues. 

Our vision is to positively affect the lives of 10 million people, worldwide through wilderness rehabilitation and connection to nature. To do this, over time we will scale the successful model for our West Sussex base into new areas and become the leading provider of outdoor activities for wellbeing across the UK.
