From November 2025 through to March 2026, we ran a programme of activities across South Yorkshire, to support people with their wellbeing over the darker, colder months.
Our free nature-based wellbeing sessions offered gentle, guided activities designed to ease stress, support recovery from ill health, and rebuild balance through the healing power of nature and the outdoors.
They appealed to a range of ages, includng people of working age who wanted to try something different, as well as younger people and retired people looking for something to get them out of the house.
