Empower T1D Woodland Activity Days @ Morelands Copse
Turning Type 1 Challenges into Woodland Adventures
Managing Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) can feel like an uphill battle, but it shouldn't mean missing out on the magic of childhood. At Empower T1D (formerly PEDS, Charity No. 1062253), we’ve moved out of the clinic and into the forest to help children and their families navigate life with T1D in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Based at the beautiful Morelands Copse Farm, our activity days combine nature-based play with vital education to build confidence for the whole family.
Sessions will run throughout the day at the times shown, if families would like to camp just specify this in your booking enquiry. Although there is running water at the campsite you won't have access to electricity so you'll need to bring everything you need with you including refreshments! There are toilets on site.
Dates are run based on demand, as spaces fill we may open up more available dates throughout the year.
Upcoming dates open now:
June 21st 10am - 2pm
July 25th 10am - 2pm
August 16th 10am - 2pm
September 20th 10am-2pm
More dates TBC based on demand.

What Makes Our Woodland Camps Different?
We know that T1D isn't caused by diet or lifestyle - it’s a relentless, 24/7 condition. Our Educational Journey uses the natural world to make sense of the science:
Hands on Learning
We use analogies involving our woodland animals (including dogs, pigs, and hens) to help children understand how diet, activity, and even the weather can impact their blood glucose levels.
Peer Support
Sessions are run by T1D experts and mentors who live with the condition every day, providing real-world inspiration for newly diagnosed families.
Nature - Based Play
From bushcraft and den building to willow weaving and axe throwing, we keep kids active and engaged, so when we create learning spaces they are ready to engage and join in.
The Whole Family
We invite siblings and parents to join in, ensuring everyone has the tools to manage T1D together and reduce the stress of daily routines.
Morelands Copse provides the perfect "off-grid" escape to focus on what matters.
"The whole family goes to our sessions; we’ve learnt so much and injection times are less stressful now." — T1D Parent
