Championing Nature is a six-year programme designed to create lasting connections between people and nature in urban communities. Funded by The All England Lawn Tennis Club and Emirates, it is being delivered by four Wildlife Trusts across the UK, including Northumberland Wildlife Trust.
At Northumberland Wildlife Trust, Championing Nature launched in June 2025 and focuses on Newcastle and the urban fringe of North Tyneside and Northumberland. It brings together education, family holiday activity and targeted youth engagement.
The Nature Connection Officer leads on the coordination and development of nature-based opportunities for young people aged 16–24. The role supports young people at a key life stage to connect with nature, improve wellbeing, build confidence and skills, and feel part of the environmental movement, while creating clearer pathways into further involvement or careers in the sector.
The programme has been co-designed with local 16-24-year-olds through workshops, surveys and pilot activities delivered in 2025. Young people told us they want fun, hands-on and social activities that support wellbeing and creativity, alongside accessible, youth-led opportunities that reduce barriers to participation and help everyone feel safe and welcome.
Building on this work, the Nature Connection Officer will deliver an engaging programme of events and activities, with scope to continually innovate and adapt based on participant feedback and emerging opportunities. The aim is to ensure the programme remains relevant, inclusive and inspiring.
Through their involvement, young people should strengthen their connection to nature, develop conservation knowledge and gain transferable skills such as communication, leadership and problem-solving. The programme also supports Northumberland Wildlife Trust to strengthen relationships with emerging adults, improve progression routes and embed more inclusive youth practice across the organisation and the wider sector.
