Welcome to the very first edition of the Outwest Impact Report. Our objective is to keep this as a live blog post and update it as we go. Outwest Clothing is a certified BCorp company which means we are committed to the highest standards of social & environmental practices.
We recently shared the details of our new charity partnership with New Wave Wild Project. New Wave Wild Project takes therapy outdoors, delivering one to one and small group psychotherapy sessions using activities and experiences in the outdoors to help engage with clients and to communicate and embody therapeutic processes. New Wave Wild Project is a not-for-profit adventure therapy service founded by Philip and Jasmin Stallard to remove barriers of access to evidence-based, person-centred, high impact therapy.
And just this last Tuesday we got to assist Maharees Conservation with a beach clean up! It was great to meet the team there and get involved for a few hours with them. We learned a lot about the great work that they do in caring for, protecting and maintaining their corner of the Peninsula. It was really inspiring to see. Outwest sponsored the teas, coffees, refreshments and ice creams afterwards.
