Achieving Results in Communities

“This had a wider impact on my wellbeing throughout the week, because it gave me a sense of routine and I knew that every Wednesday I’d have this space to feel calmer and a growing sense of belonging”

“I was feeling low, struggling to find direction in life after 1 & 1⁄2 years of cancer treatment. I felt lonely and full of grief and loss. I like the honesty that comes from sitting in a circle. I was grateful for the fire and shelter on cold winter days. I loved the singing and games. It felt great to laugh freely. I loved the wood maintenance – it was immensely satisfying”

“It has kept me sober for the last 2 months so I can go to rehab. I appreciate the outdoors more”

“It absolutely exceeded my expectations beyond belief and I am astounded at how wonderful it was – I would never ever have thought it would be so fantastic and so much of what I needed. I thought perhaps it would just at least give me something to do and get me out of the house, but never realised how much my mental health, physical health and general wellbeing would improve and be supported by going on the course”
