The aim of The 'Every Acorn' Project is to nurture the next generation by engaging young people in the wonders of the outdoors. Through funding, grants, and generous donations, we strive to provide them with opportunities to immerse themselves in outdoor activities. Our mission is to inspire a love for nature, foster personal growth, and help them reap the numerous benefits that come from spending time in the great outdoors.
The 'Every Acorn' Project is aimed specifically at those for whom outdoor activities and all the benefits they bring would be out of reach.
Every Acorn has the potential to grow into a strong Oak tree
The 'Every Acorn' Project is managed by Kes Shearer, a Director at Let's Get Out C.I.C
Find out about Kes's Journey below.
Kes Shearer's journey into the heart of nature began at a tender age, igniting a lifelong passion for the outdoors. At just 8 years old, Kes embarked on a remarkable 100-mile trek from Essex to Norfolk, setting the stage for even greater adventures. By the age of 9, Kes had traversed the rugged landscapes of northern Spain on a 500-mile expedition—an impressive feat accomplished not just once, but later a further three times.
Drawing from a diverse professional background, Kes brings a wealth of expertise to the table. With early experience in the design industry, facilities management, sound engineering, planning and project management, Kes seamlessly transitioned into the realm of education for those less fortunate. He later gained qualifications as a Bushcraft instructor, First Aid instructor, Gym instructor, and Wilderness skills Range instructor reflecting his commitment to fostering and building a holistic learning experience for all.
Kes's dedication to education is underscored by teaching and assessing qualifications, complemented by a rigorous NEBOSH certification in Health and Safety. For over 15 years, Kes has been a resolute in the field of education, first employed in a college setting and later within an alternative education provision. As a Senior Team Leader specializing in Special Educational Needs (SEN) and behaviour management, Kes has empowered countless individuals to overcome obstacles and thrive using the outdoor environment and his experience as tools to improve communication skills, social skills, practical skills as well as facilitating the building of self-awareness, confidence and competence across so many areas.
Within Let's Get Out CIC, Kes Shearer epitomizes the fusion of passion and purpose. Kes sees the organization as a conduit for meaningful engagement with nature, fostering personal growth, community cohesion, and environmental stewardship.
