We "learn by doing" in a fun and safe natural environment!

backbone is a global training and consultancy organisation, established in 1995 by Pammy Johal to provide opportunities to marginalised groups. We design and deliver engaging initiatives to encourage forward thinking and action on all issues pertinent to living and working in a diverse world. Influencing the way society perceive people from minority communities and organisations is the essence of what we do.
The magic of our work is in our approach… Our consultancy work provides the platform for unique partnerships based on genuine intention, mutual respect, trust and valuing difference. It’s the foundation of our bespoke packages. We consult with each one of you to ensure that we have an indepth understanding of your environment/community; your organisation and your people’s needs.
backbone recognises that outdoor spaces are powerful playgrounds that can be utilised for recreation, health, social, education, personal and organisational development. We use the natural environment as our classroom together with group work and creative experiential sessions to encourage open and honest conversations and solutions.
We work with organisations and communities from all backgrounds and sectors, providing practical skills and confidence to support self led initiatives
