At the end of April we delivered a full day for Occupational Therapy Masters students from exploring how outdoor activities and natural environments can support health and wellbeing.

We have since had the pleasure of hosting two of the students on a 6-week placement with us. During this time they have joined a variety of our sessions to further understand our work and contribute useful insight about how occupational therapy could help us to develop our delivery for the benefit of participants.
