Founded by Alison and Georgia, we ran a nature connection project at Ampleforth Abbey Orchards to bring greater nature connection and wellbeing to healthcare staff and communities in the Howardian Hills and surrounding areas. 

​

FiPL funding enabled us to run forest school for adults and ‘mindfulness in nature’ sessions, while teaching the wellbeing benefits of being outdoors. We offered:

​

• Community drop in sessions

• Nature connection and wellbeing courses

• Wellbeing sessions for healthcare and service referral agency staff

• Further support through signposting and a wellbeing toolkit (available to interested parties).

​​

While sessions have ended, we can still offer you the following:

 

• Our 'Nature Connection & Wellbeing Toolkit'. Simply click on the link below to download. Hard copies are available, but will charge for postage now 

• Links to other outdoor groups and nature connection activity suggestions. Head to 'Other Groups & Activities' below.

• ​Read the Project Summary Report. Go to the 'Read Summary Report' link below.

​

Now funding has finished, we're on the look out for new venues, funding and other possibilities. Please sign up to the newsletter to be kept up to date (scroll down to see the link).
