Welcome to the lions Den!

At Welcome to the Lions Den!, we offer a unique experience in bush tuckering and survival skills right here in Wigan, United Kingdom. Join us for an adventure like no other!
I have been training for over twenty years to create Georgia's Approach. I studied joinery, busk tuckering, survival, BA Social work human growth and development. Over the 20 years i have worked in forensic mental health, community mental health, CAHMS, Social work, Learning difficulties, young offenders, Autism in both children and Adults. I have also travelled to Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Philippines, Japan and Singapore. Here i learned about many many different survival techniques that I could not learn in England. I also learned how different cultures do things differently and how each different culture views children. I learned how to climb Kilimanjaro, Climb Mount Fuji, swim with great white sharks, survive in storms, learn to speak basic language and live off the land. I realised that a person needs more than a degree in life, they also need educating in survival and building skills to help them in life.
I have developed all these skills to create a social approach that will support children with Autism, learning difficulties, ADHD, young offenders and mental health. It’s in a safe environment were jack the lad is ok to be a lad lad and a girl is allowed to be a little madam. I encourage children to think for themselves and to back themselves with their hopes and dreams.

All welcome in  safe environment were you can be your self.
