Sir Brian May becomes Patron of Huckleberries
We are incredibly proud to announce Sir Brian May has become Patron of Huckleberries.
Nature doesn’t ask anything of us, it simply gives us space to be ourselves, and the power to heal
— Sir Brian May, Patron of Huckleberries
Having spent time with us and seen our work first-hand, Sir Brian understands the difference that being in nature, caring for animals, and the freedom to learn differently can make to children who are struggling to thrive in mainstream education.
We are thrilled and deeply grateful that he has agreed to become our Patron.

Reimagining learning, wellbeing, and belonging
About Huckleberries
Huckleberries is reimagining wellbeing and belonging for children and young people. We are creative, courageous, and rooted in nature - with a simple vision, to transform young lives by nurturing their capacity to thrive.
Our nature-based wellbeing community helps young people grow in curiosity, resilience, self-awareness, and authenticity, discovering a love of learning along the way. Within a safe and supportive space, full of possibility, they can explore, connect and flourish through:
- The Nurture Farm - a place of care and healing for young people facing mental health and emotional challenges, where nature, animals, and belonging help them feel safe again
- Wild Projects - part of the Nurture Farm, where passion-led projects rekindle confidence, self-esteem, and joy in learning.
- The Community Hub - a space for connection, belonging, and opportunity
- WIld About Huckleberries - our after-school forest school, where children come together, explore, create, and connect with nature
We welcome young people aged 6 to 13 who are experiencing or recovering from emotional challenges or trauma, including those for whom school has become overwhelming.
Alongside our team, a growing community of local volunteers shares their skills with the children, from beekeeping and woodwork to archery, metalwork, and music. Many of the most inspiring Wild Projects begin with a volunteer's passion, and we would love to hear from anyone who wants to be part of something extraordinary.
At Huckleberries, healing and learning go hand in hand. Across meadows, woods, our yurt, studio, and stables, children follow their curiosity at their own pace, grounded in wellbeing. Learning here is passion-led, purposeful, and joyful, and it grows from feeling safe.
We are deeply committed to social equity. No family should face barriers to helping their child thrive. That’s why at least 70% of places at our Nurture Farm are free for children who have no other support available. Most fall into the gap between the support ordinarily available in the classroom and the threshold for an EHCP.
At Huckleberries, extraordinary is our starting point - and we are proud of what we are creating together.
