A scheme run at Natural England and National Trust will partner with NHS Cornwall Mental Health Health Support Team and Cornwall Wildlife Trust to put on Wild Wellbeing workshops for children, parents, and carers during the upcoming Easter holidays.

The sessions are based on the truth that getting out in the fresh air and enjoying nature is good for our wellbeing. Sessions will be held at various venues across Cornwall and are open to primary school children and a parent or carer.

They are based on the NHS Five Ways to Wellbeing initiative: Connect, Take Notice, Be Active, Keep Learning, Give. They link to the Five Pathways to Nature Connection: Sensory contact, Emotional bond, Beauty, Meaning, showing Compassion.

Morgan Stevens of Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust said: “This is a fantastic and exciting opportunity for organisations to work together to promote wellbeing, nature and the outdoors to the children and the families of Cornwall.”

The free sessions at Natural England sites are being held at: Tuesday 8th April at Golitha Falls; Thursday 10th April at Tehidy Woods; Tuesday, 15th April at The Dipping Pond, Goss Moor; Tuesday 15th April at Widemouth Bay, Bude.

In West Cornwall, the sessions are: Wednesday, 9th April at Penrose and on Wednesday 16th April at Kennack Sands.
