The Connecting Steps project aims to introduce people who are not currently accessing the countryside to the west of Sheffield city, by working with existing community groups who work with vulnerable or isolated individuals.
We hope to enthuse, engage, help and support these groups through facilitating visits (via public transport where possible) and including nature-based activities to promote well-being, such as wild art, foraging, photography, mindfulness, flora/fauna ID and visits to SLLP partners, for example Our Cow Molly and Stoneface Creative.
Wellbeing through nature connection is an important aspect of these visits to the Lakeland area; more about this can be found on the Trust’s Wild at Heart webpage.
For community groups and SLLP partners , for example Our Cow Molly and Stoneface Creative, a toolkit can be found below giving ideas and guidance to help groups visit the SLLA independently.
