Boosting Mental Wellbeing in the Forest Garden

Thanks to funding from the Mental Wellbeing & Resilience Fund with Warwickshire County Council we are now able to provide support for people with mental health difficulties by creating an accessible, biodiverse, wildlife rich, sustainable, edible forest garden with off grid facilities for groups and the community to enjoy and improve their mental health and wellbeing.

In the first phase (before March 2022), we will convert an existing ships cabin into an accessible compost toilet, install accessible pathways and build a gazebo for outdoor exercise. We are employing two young people on Kickstart placements to give them an opportunity to develop new skills and improve their employability opportunities when the project finishes.
