Corporate Wild Work Day: Blue Mind: A Beach Digital Detox at Rottingdean

Thank you for thinking of Sussex Wildlife Trust for your staff volunteering days. We would be delighted to organise a bespoke session for you and your colleagues through our 'Wild Work Days' environmental team building programme.

Step into the rhythm of the tides and leave your devices behind for a restorative day on the wild beach. With a strong sense of community and collaboration, we’ll explore ocean connection through group activities that blend mindfulness, discovery, and care for coastal wildlife.
Together, we’ll tune into the sights and sounds of blue space, take part in guided wildlife identification, and learn how to protect the creatures we encounter.
There’s the option to explore birdlife and take part in Wild Beach-style activities, all designed to deepen your connection with the coast. We’ll finish the day with a collective beach clean, leaving the shoreline better than we found it.
This is a day to slow down, look closely, and reconnect—with nature, with your team, and with the sea.

We do charge for these bespoke events to cover staff time, resources and insurance. The minimum number of people we can run this session for is 6 people with a maximum of 15.
