The Impact Project on Tanera tracks the social, economic, environmental and cultural value created through our work across our island and mainland sites.​
​
We measure what matters to people, tangible and intangible.
Rural and Community Regeneration
Tanera’s rural and community regeneration efforts are focussed on addressing key issues in our local areas and within our connected communities.
Through projects like our Volunteer Programme and the Bothan Fund, partnerships with local development and heritage organisations, and research projects archiving the history of our surrounding estates, we are renewing engagement with the area’s heritage.
​
Building Resilience in our Public Services
Since 2018, we have welcomed over 1,000 guests from various charities aimed at supporting the wellbeing of people working in high-stress areas of public service in the UK.
Our guests on Tanera are selected by the external charitable bodies we partner with, and join us on the island to take part in facilitated restorative retreats involving working on the projects across the islands as well as taking time to connect with themselves and one another .
The purpose of the island is restorative in the broadest sense; creating the conditions for people to feel calm, valued, and able to return to their roles with renewed perspective.
All guest stays are fully funded through partner charities, with no cost to the individuals attending.
Environmental Restoration and Protection
Direct environmental interventions across our island and mainland sites have focussed on five main goals: woodland regeneration, freshwater habitat creation, mosaic landscaping, the reintroduction of traditional agricultural practices, as well as developing a robust surveying and monitoring programme.
We are excited to be partnering with a number of local and UK-wide research initiatives across our ecological and marine ecosystems to develop this programme further.

Our Communities
Social value is created through shared outcomes, not isolated actions.
By engaging those who live, work, and collaborate with us, we ensure our interventions are relevant, inclusive, and responsive to local needs.
Their insights shape our priorities, strengthen accountability, and help us deliver meaningful, lasting impact.
