The Green Health Enterprise

It is run from a property owned by us and is designed to help people improve their lives, widen social inclusion and help them get back into employment.

The project is a partnership between our mental health service and countryside service and Rethink, which is a national mental health charity. It also works with specialist conservation agencies on some projects.

People attending the Green Health Enterprise get involved in a variety of activities at the country park, including cultivating trees, hedge-laying, mapping, repairing footpaths, running an allotment and a range of environmental arts projects such as pole lathing, basketry and willow sculpture.
