Keep the door open
Help people take part when money is the barrier. Contributions support bursary places and the donation-based seasonal and storytelling gatherings at Hensol.
Meet the gatherings →NATURALLY SMART GROUP CIC · SC887395
Support what
grows here.
A wood. A gathering. A place for people to find their way back into the living world.
Your contribution helps keep that work going: access to learning, care for the land, stories around the fire and patient observation of the lives already here.
COMMUNITY BENEFIT
Naturally Smart.
Naturally ours.
This work is held through a Community Interest Company.
Naturally Smart Group CIC exists to advance ecological education, learning through place and the cultivation of attention at Hensol and beyond. Its statutory asset lock protects assets for community benefit. Contributions and surplus support that purpose.
A one-off gift helps with what is needed now. Regular support helps us plan ahead, care for the place through the seasons and make room for people who might otherwise be unable to come.
WHERE SUPPORT GOES
Care that continues.
02
Care for the place
Help sustain the woodland, pond, trees and gathering spaces: the living ground from which the work grows. Care continues between the days when people come together.
Explore the living landscape →03
Make knowledge accessible
Support the writing, resources and practical tools that carry this work beyond a single gathering. Help us share material widely and make it accessible to people who cannot afford to pay.
Visit the reading room →04
Notice who lives here
Support the Moth Project’s lights, cameras and records, and three planned public evenings in the wood. The aim is a longer, checked record of the lives sharing this place.
Discover the Moth Project →05

Small gifts are welcome. A contribution is a way of supporting the shared work; it does not reserve an event place or purchase a programme.

Help something
take root.
A community group, business, trust or individual can support a particular strand of the work: bursary places, the Moth Project, land care, shared learning resources or the international programme.
We can discuss the purpose, what the support would make possible and an appropriate way to acknowledge it. Start with a conversation so the arrangement is clear to everyone.
Discuss a gift or partnership ↗BANK TRANSFER & OTHER SUPPORT

A place at a gathering

If cost is making it difficult to attend, start a private conversation. Tell us which gathering or programme draws you. We can explain what support is available.
