02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Earthtime's core social purpose is to improve lives and outcomes for families and children in Moray through spending time outside in nature - exploring, protecting, enhancing and enjoying the natural environment. Our ethos is based on one of nurturing and encouraging inclusive, child-led participation in play and nature-based learning activities. Earthtime aims to develop stronger family bonds to increase self-esteem and confidence for both children and their parents or carers to build more resilient and stronger communities. Earthtime operates as a childcare provider by running an outdoor nursery school, an after school club and school holiday play sessions. Earthtime operates in the community too, working with schools and the community at large. We work with schools and other nurseries delivering our Forest School programme throughout Moray.
