Our aim is to enable people to enhance their wellbeing, (both physical and mental) through connection with the natural environment.

We aim to achieve this by

• direct engagement with individuals and community groups eg clubs, societies, care homes etc using our team of volunteers and by supporting community groups to deliver similar activities
• developing Friendship Groups focussed around gardening, nature, wellbeing, wildlife, crafts, healthy living and the outdoors.
• offering a diverse range of learning opportunities in a variety of formats and new experiences such as walk and talk, storytelling, healthy eating and living ideas.

Our objectives are to:

• facilitate meeting and forming friendships with other people
• provide opportunities to learn new practical skills, improve personal health and wellbeing and relax
• facilitate engaging with and learning about the natural environment through gardening, flower and other rural crafts and wildlife activities
• relive and share memories
• encourage self help “skills” and development of prevention techniques
