We are 3 sessions in to our Wild & Well programme funded by Minds. We have spent time connecting with nature, and each other and learning loads while we do!
Connecting to nature is shown to have huge benefits for our wellbeing like reducing feelings of stress and improving concentration. The knock on effect is that we care more for our environment and the wildlife that lives there.

We have some brilliant sessions coming up, so please come along. Awaken that nature enthusiast in yourself!

had a great time at in Tuesday evening!

We sat and talked as we drew wildflowers and learned about how cool 'weeds' really are!

It's inspired up to think about what we would like to do in the coming months 🙌

We will be back again next month. Thank you for having us!
