Earth & Mind CIC has received funding for staff and equipment costs to deliver nature-based interventions for high-frequency users of health services, including the extension of existing gardening and woodworking sessions, plus wildlife habitat management and foraging courses.
The sessions have a variety of benefits for participants. They help participants establish a routine, socialise and give them a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Participants note how sessions help them to switch off from life’s stresses, take a mental break and relax in a peaceful environment. This contributes to their overall sense of wellbeing.
