Team and group development
Practical shared work designed around how a group communicates, contributes and operates together.
BESPOKE PROGRAMMES & TRAINING
Begin with the people, purpose and environment.
David designs programmes for groups and organisations when a standard activity day or fixed package is not the right answer.See the approach ↓PROGRAMME DESIGN
Tell us what the group needs to achieve.
You may know exactly what you need, or only what you want to change for the group.
We look at the people taking part, the intended outcome, available time, setting and appropriate level of challenge. From there, practical outdoor work can be arranged into a programme with clear preparation, progression and responsibility.
If you want an established Aligned Ascent offer, explore the defined Home Education programmes, expeditions and outdoor experiences. This page is for work designed around a group or organisation.
No accreditation, formal partnership or delivery authority is assumed. Those details are confirmed against the exact brief before anything is promised.
POSSIBLE AREAS
A starting point, not a claim that every offer is fixed.
These are areas Aligned Ascent can discuss. The final scope depends on the group and what can be accurately agreed.DofE-related support or training
Potential support around appropriate outdoor skills, preparation and journey capability, subject to the exact brief and delivery authority.
Scouts and youth organisations
Outdoor skills or programme support shaped around the group rather than lifted from a generic activity list.
Forest School and educators
Potential practical training or programme input for educators and staff, with scope and credentials confirmed before agreement.
Outdoor skills training
Bushcraft, navigation, campcraft and journey skills arranged for the people who need to use them.
A programme that does not exist yet
Start with the outcome, audience and environment. David can design a connected programme rather than forcing the brief into a fixed package.
FROM BRIEF TO PROGRAMME
How we develop the work.
Understand
Who is taking part, what needs to change or become possible, and what constraints already exist?
Shape
Choose the right environment, practical content, sequence, level of challenge and delivery team.
Confirm
Agree scope, responsibilities, timing, price and any required qualifications or partner roles before delivery.
Deliver and review
Run the programme with attention to the people present, then use what happened to inform any next stage.
USEFUL FIRST INFORMATION
What to include in an enquiry.
- Who the programme is for
- Approximate group size and age range
- What you want the programme to achieve
- Your location or possible environments
