Children and Youth in Nature
ARC deliver a number of different activities with children and young people.
Doing outdoor social activity reduces social isolation, builds confidence and makes you feel happy!
ARC’s Wellbeing in Nature sessions can help you to be active and connect to the natural world for positive physical and mental health benefits.
Our weekly sessions and courses are aimed at adults who experience mild to moderate mental health challenges, feel socially isolated, or are on a recovery pathway from an addiction.
We are also currently developing Wellbeing in Nature Days for Business groups.
