The benefits of spending time in nature, being active outdoors and connecting with others is becoming far more appreciated. Here are some of the ways that our ecotherapy service can make a difference:

• Increasing social connection, a sense of belonging and reducing isolation and loneliness.

• Improving mood and reducing anxiety and stress.

• Being more physically active.

• Eating a healthier diet.

• Improving confidence, independence, sense of purpose and motivation.

• Learning new knowledge and skills.

• Improving emotional resilience, such as ability to cope with difficulties or take up new opportunities.

• Greater appreciation for the natural world around us.

• Being able to make a positive contribution.

We invite everyone to take a step into the outdoors to discover the joys and therapeutic qualities of what nature has to offer.
