Green social prescribing in four forests around the country
Feel Good in the Forest is a green social prescribing programme at four of Forestry England’s forests that offers access to nature-based activities for people with mild-to-moderate health conditions and those experiencing loneliness or social isolation. Our participants find their way to us through self-referral or via a social prescribing link worker, and the results of this accessible programme speak for themselves.
Feel Good in the Forest helps people to be more active, boosts their resilience, find restation and connection with nature, and feel empowered and included.
This programme is running at Thames Chase (Essex and Greater London), Chopwell (Tyne & Wear), Guisborough (North Yorkshire), and in the National Forest (Leicestershire).
