- Woodland Wellbeing 🌿

We’re delighted to be funding Woodland Wellbeing sessions for families affected by cancer through one of our small grants.

Each session will include a variety of gentle activities such as nature crafts, den building, mindfulness, and campfire cooking. It’s all about creating space to be present, curious, and enjoy time together outdoors. 🌳

Woodland Wellbeing takes place in an accessible woodland site close to the city centre and shelter will be provided in rainy conditions. Sessions are open to families at any stage of their cancer experience who feel they would benefit from taking part. 💜
