Raise is reimagining what woodlands can be: more inclusive, more creative, and more connected to the ways people truly experience the world. As a neurodivergent-led organisation, we centre neurodivergent perspectives to help reshape environmental action, creating stronger ecosystems and more inclusive communities.

Through Raise: Cumbria Community Forest, covering 1,300 square miles and guided by a 25-year vision for healthier treescapes and fairer access, we champion community-led woodland creation, stewardship, nature-based health initiatives, and cultural engagement – offering funding and practical support to bring these ideas to life.
