Green Prescriptions
Green social prescribing is the practice of supporting people to engage in nature-based interventions and activities to improve their mental and physical health.
Example Activities
Our Programme works on a small group basis, focusing on hands on, experiential and choice driven activities, helping individual's to develop passions, interests, trust and increased self- esteem. We have a dedicated team of mentors and therapists to support individual's in connecting with themselves, nature and creativity.
Our site is located on 4 acres of natural woodland, with access to the beach and tennis courts, as well as a wide variety of creative and culinary activities.
