We are excited to announce that thanks to funding from the National Lottery, we are able to launch our new wellbeing project Forest Futures – aimed at improving the mental health and wellbeing of local residents<\/strong> in the aftermath of the lockdowns of 2020 through regular outdoor activity and participation<\/strong> in thier local green space and woodland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS PROJECT HAS NOW COMPLETED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project will be based in Ten Acres in Stirchley<\/strong> (the strip of land in between Cartland road and Dogpool Lane along the river rea). Volunteering with us will include a variety of tasks to choose from including tool use, litter picking, woodland management, path clearance, pruning and general site care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sessions will run once a week every Friday<\/strong> (split am\/pm sessions while restrictions apply) and we have a supply of masks and sanitiser available at every session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Just Volunteering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Select volunteers working with us on this project will have the opportunity to also work towards a Level 1 Woodland Management award. The training for this award will be practical and hands on, through training and teaching provided during volunteering sessions. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mental Health Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Participants will also have access to a mental health practitioner<\/strong> on site who will be on hand for drop in sessions and adhoc listening services thanks to a partnership with local wellbeing company Perpetual Equilibrium<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
