Who we are
Rekindling the wild CIC are a forward thinking, ambitious organisation with the aim of delivering therapeutic educational support to all types of learners aged 5 - 16.
Our mission is to make education accessible to all. We strongly believe that every young person in our communities has the potential to thrive, given the right support. Our aim is to be preventative, not reactive, in the interventions given to students. We know there are endless positive outcomes for young people when they receive nurturing, targeted support. Rekindling the wild CIC is committed to improving the wellbeing of all.

“SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL PEOPLE ARE THE ONES WHO DON’T FIT INTO BOXES”
Founded in 2025 in memory of three beautiful souls:
Patrick Birley
Patrick, a sunbeam in human form. An effervescent soul, the connector of hearts. He gathered people like constellations, his laughter a light that could break any darkness. We feel him in every moment of joy, every act of kindness. His spirit dances through our work.
Todd pattinson
Todd was a storm and a sunrise. Bold, untamed, impossible to forget. A brother, a son, a soul stitched with resilience. He carried a fire within him, a determination that burned through every setback, every silence.
He lived fiercely, loved deeply - and never stopped fighting for light in the darkest places. Todd reminds us, always, to keep going, to rise, to rebel. To rekindle the wild within us all.
Sarah coldrey
Sarah, our dancing girl. Therapist, mother, free spirit, friend. She moved through the world with grace in her hands and wisdom in her eyes. Her compassion was a language of its own, spoken in silence, felt in full. There is a space no one else can fill but her light guides us always.s.
