The Woodland Wellbeing Programme is a funded provision that offers free nature-based courses and volunteering to support the management of everyday mental health and wellbeing needs. All sessions run weekly during term time in eight week blocks. There are monthly family friendly workshops delivered on Saturdays.
Activities include:
If you are a GP, mental/physical health practitioner, support worker or social prescriber you can refer to the programme. Please identify which activity you feel most appropriate for your client and get in touch.
