Studies have shown that a two-hour dose of nature significantly boosts health and wellbeing. Similarly, being able to enjoy leisure activities improves quality of life and enhances creativity.
We're proud to support a strong and growing community of people and organisations working for a better world. Why not get out and about to see the positive impact that money can make for yourself with a visit to one of these Triodos Bank customers?
Wake The Tiger, Bristol
Wake The Tiger is an immersive experience that must be seen to be believed. Part theatre performance, part art installation, this one-of-a-kind ‘amazement park’ is suitable for all ages.
Designed to entertain and act as a cautionary tale, Wake The Tiger shares an important message about the importance of sustainability and the very real impact of human greed.
The space is created by a group of visionary artists and engineers who have tirelessly poured their hearts into every tiny detail. Their dedication and passion transformed Wake The Tiger from an idea into an ever-growing masterpiece.
RSPB Reserves, various locations
The RSPB manages 226 nature reserves nationwide, which are vital havens to a huge range of species of birds, as well as other flora and fauna. The reserves cover a diverse range of habitats, including coastline, wetland, grassland and heathland.
The charity has worked to make improvements for both wildlife and visitors, with financing from Triodos Bank helping to power more than seven reserves with renewable energy.
Jolly Nice Farmshop, Cotswolds
Once a mere petrol station, the Jolly Nice Farmshop has been transformed into a buzzing community space. Nestled on the outskirts of Stroud, the shop boasts a huge variety of local produce. Everything is organically grown, seasonal and 100% free range.
The shop features a popular café, bar and even a drive-through, selling their wide range of sustainable products. Better yet, the farmshop puts on a host of events. From floristry workshops to puppy meet ups, to breathwork classes and live music, this bustling space is a must-visit this summer.
Sea Lanes, Brighton
Nestled on the shore of Brighton's famous beach, a forward-thinking open water swimming hub opened on the historic seafront with help from Triodos Bank funding.
Created by a group of local businesses and open water swimming enthusiasts, Sea Lanes caters to swimmers of all abilities, increasing participation by overcoming accessibility barriers and ultimately encouraging people to enjoy swimming and live healthier lives.
As well as being home to the National Open Water Swimming Centre of Excellence, the development includes 23 carbon neutral modular units for businesses from the area, such as a bar, coffee shop, yoga studios, health and fitness facilities and retailers that fit with the overall ethos of the project.
