NATURE BASED PROGRAMMES SUPPORTING PEOPLE AFFECTED BY CANCER TO REBUILD STRENGTH, RESILIENCE AND CONNECTION THROUGH TIME OUTDOORS.
​FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH CANCER, RECOVERING AFTER TREATMENT, AND THOSE SUPPORTING THEM.
What We do
We create nature based programmes that help people affected by cancer rebuild confidence, strength and connection with themselves, with others and with the natural world.
Through time outdoors, supportive movement, practical activities and small group experiences, we create space to recover, adapt and find a way forward. Sessions might include walking, forest bathing, conservation, bushcraft, wildlife and birdwatching, shared meals, reflection or simply time around a fire.
Everything we do is trauma aware, accessible and adaptable, meeting people where they are, rather than where they feel they ought to be.
About
Wild Roots Renewal
Wild Roots Renewal creates space for people to find a way forward.
​
Cancer can change more than your health. It can change your confidence, your relationships, your sense of who you are and what comes next. And when treatment ends, or life moves on around you, finding your way forward isn't always simple.
​
In woodland and wild places, away from the noise of everyday life, we bring people together to reconnect with themselves, with others and with the natural world. There is no expectation to “get back to normal”, and no single route through recovery. Just space, support and practical ways to discover what moving forward looks like for you.
​
Because no one should have to navigate cancer alone and nature can help us find our bearings.

ABOUT PHIL BRIGGS
Wild Roots Renewal was founded by Phil Briggs, a former Royal Marines Commando, outdoor practitioner, medic and conservationist with nearly four decades' experience in outdoor and expedition environments.
​
Following his own treatment for HPV-related cancer, Phil experienced first-hand how challenging the period during and after treatment can be. Time outdoors became an important part of finding his footing again, and helped inspire Wild Roots Renewal.
​
Today, Phil brings together professional outdoor experience, nature connection and lived experience of cancer to create practical, supportive programmes that help people reconnect, rebuild confidence and find their own way forward.
