Wilderness Foundation UK

The Wilderness Foundation UK is a British charity which "harnesses the power of wilderness to change lives, and the positive power of humanity to save wilderness".[1] The charity works with vulnerable young people and adults, bringing thousands of people into contact with nature each year.[1]

It was one of the seven charities nominated by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to receive donations in lieu of wedding presents when the couple married on 19 May 2018.[2][3] Prince Harry had visited the charity's headquarters at Chatham Green, near Chelmsford, Essex, in 2017, when he met students on a survival course.[4]
