Support our vital work

Bushcraft event

Come together with other children and young people with JIA and their families to get involved with some bushcraft activities - den building, s’mores, and more! Teenagers will also learn how to light the bonfire!

The Outdoors Project is a place for children to spend time outdoors, go on mini-adventures and enjoy active, imaginative play. The main focus is on one thing: having a brilliant time! The carefully designed activities are not only exciting and engaging, but they also help children develop valuable life skills along the way. The Outdoors Project's mission is simple: for every child to have the best day ever, making core memories, staying active and going home with rosy cheeks and a big smile!

When: Sunday 17 May 2026 from 12noon until 2pm.

Where: Sevenoaks, Kent

Who: Children and young people aged 4-16. Open to children with JIA and their siblings.

Cost: Children aged 4-16 free. Adults £5 non-refundable deposit per adult. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Important: This is an outdoor event and will take place no matter the weather, so ensure everyone attending wears layers and suitable outdoor clothing and footwear and/or sunlotion as needed.
