We'd like to introduce you to the people behind Birkheads Wild...
The Directors
Our Directors give up their time to help the organisation as volunteers, and bring a wealth of experience to the social enterprise.

We have a dedicated, professional team of freelance Forest School and Outdoor Leaders and volunteers who run and support our regular sessions with young people at Birkheads Wild. They share our values and work hard to bring memorable outdoor experiences to young people who visit.

Youth Board - Birkheads Wild Young Leaders
Young people are at the heart of all we do at Birkheads Wild. In 2021 we launched our Youth Board, inviting applications from teenagers across Gateshead.
14 young people with diverse backgrounds and life experiences were selected by the Non-exec Directors.
The young leaders attended our bespoke leadership development programme thanks to support from a Tyne and Wear High Sheriff Award with the Community Foundation for Tyne & Wear and Northumberland.
Our Young Leaders help set our future direction and activities, assist with fundraising and volunteer on causes they care about. They all love the outdoors and keep us real.
