This new National Lottery funding will enable a new woodland wellbeing project to be set up during 2023 for people to be able to learn new crafts and try out creative activities in a woodland setting. Working outdoors and being creative both offer great benefits to health and wellbeing and this new project will be a great opportunity for more people to benefit.

We always try to incorporate nature and being outdoors in our work and we know the extra benefits people get from being outdoors so we are excited to have this great opportunity to develop this side of our Wild Roots Creative offering. This will make a big difference to people’s lives.”
