About

What do we offer?   

  • An 18-week programme of weekly nature connection sessions – including activities such as mindfulness, sensory activities, natural craft activities and practical park work.
  • Sessions finish with a healthy free lunch

Who are the sessions for?

  • People over 18 who are struggling with their mental health or finding life challenging
  • People who are interested in spending time in nature in a group setting to support their wellbeing
  • We appreciate that it can feel hard to attend a new group and so are happy for participants to bring a support person with them, particularly for the first few sessions.
