We promote positive health and well-being through a range of therapeutic, green and creative activities within a peaceful and natural environment, surrounded by a river, woodland & wildlife. We provide a non-pressurised, peaceful and restorative environment for people experiencing mental health problems relax, unwind and recharge their batteries. We have a variety of activities and can tailor indi
vidual plans according to a person’s needs. A sample of some activities we can provide are horticultural techniques, art and creative sessions, garden crafts, green woodwork, pottery, ceramics, mosaics, felting, jewellery making, furniture restoration, organic vegetable growing, cookery, jam-making and bee- keeping. Our public café and garden nursery can offer people work experience, build up their skill base and self-esteem whilst helping to break down the stigma surrounding mental health problems in a rural community. Physical activity is important for both wellbeing and service users can access walks around the site in all weathers and will be encouraged to engage in other activities such as bird watching, photography, bush craft skills or admiring the wildlife by the river. Our land is multi-functional and has the potential to provide a range of environmental and social goods and services. Our activities actively encourage people to learn more about the natural environment. Engaging in green activities in groups can also nurture new friendships and enhance social networks with like-minded people. It can help people to move forward in life, set new goals and do things which gives their life meaning. LionMouth aims to hold regular seasonal community events and service users will be given the opportunity to take to an active role, providing a sense of belonging, ownership and identity.
