Who are we?
Coppice Collective is a community wellbeing organisation based in Bradford.
We use our skills and experience to support people in ways that traditional services cannot always provide. We believe strong communities help people stay well, build confidence and thrive.
Our aim is simple: to help people feel connected, supported and valued through practical activities, shared experiences and meaningful relationships.
Why the name?
To us, It means a small group of trees together in an otherwise exposed landscape. Together they create refuge, space, habitat and community to those creatures, plants and fungi. Enabling them to grow, rest, restore and launch out into the world. We want to be creating something like this for the people and communities we work with.
Our Values
Community Cohesion
Personal Development & Mental Health
Healthy Habitats
Community Cohesion
We create opportunities for people to meet, learn from one another and build trust. By bringing people together, we help create healthier and more connected communities across Bradford.
We believe that a sense of belonging can have a positive impact on wellbeing, confidence and overall quality of life.
Personal Development and mental health
Many people face challenges with stress, anxiety, isolation and confidence. We believe that learning new skills, spending time in nature and building positive relationships can all support better mental wellbeing.
Our activities encourage personal growth, confidence and resilience. We also recognise that some people find meaning and strength through spirituality and reflection, and we respect each person’s individual journey.
Healthy Habitats
We are passionate about improving local green spaces and helping people connect with nature. Spending time outdoors can improve wellbeing, reduce stress and create opportunities to learn new skills.
The traditional woodland practice of coppicing inspires our approach. By caring for the environment in a sustainable way, we can create places where both people and nature can flourish.
We are currently improving our local woodland and hope to expand our environmental projects and learning opportunities in the future.
