Hidden School CIC
A Community Interest Company (CIC) is a social enterprise that uses its profits and resources to benefit the community, focusing on positive social or environmental impact rather than private gain.
The Reconnect project
The Reconnect Project offered nature-based days and weekends designed to support emotional wellbeing, rebuild confidence, and help participants feel more grounded in themselves and the outdoors.
Each programme wove together outdoor yoga, bushcraft, confidence-building activities, and gentle self-development practices, creating a calm and supportive space for reconnection and personal growth.
Reconnect was particularly supportive for those experiencing stress, low mood, anxiety, or periods of feeling overwhelmed, offering a gentle pathway back to balance through nature, movement, and community.
During its delivery, the project expanded to welcome a wider range of participants and created meaningful opportunities for emotional, physical, and social wellbeing in natural spaces.
The project offered both funded and paid places.

Stretch & Stroll family sessions
Stretch & Stroll is Hidden School CIC's weekly parent and baby wellbeing session, held every Monday at 1pm at Perranporth Family Hub. It's a gentle stretch and movement class, followed by a relaxed group walk — a simple, welcoming space for parents and carers to move, breathe, and connect in the early months of parenthood.
Running since February 2026 on a donation basis, Stretch & Stroll reflects what we believe at the heart of Hidden School CIC: that wellbeing shouldn't come with a price tag that shuts people out. Sessions are pay-as-you-can, come-as-you-are, with space generously donated by Perranporth Family Hub and Cornwall Council. Toddlers and older siblings are warmly welcomed too — just get in touch so we can make sure the session works for your family.
As a Community Interest Company, every donation made at Stretch & Stroll goes straight back into the community it serves. It funds equipment, keeps the sessions running, and — thanks to the generosity of the families who attend — now funds something more: the first Monday of every month is a fully-funded, completely free session for all families, with additional funded spaces each week set aside for people referred in by health visitors, social prescribers, and local support services.
Stretch & Stroll is proof that small, consistent community support can grow into something that gives back. Come along, stretch it out, take a walk, and be part of it.
