Each activity at our centre is designed to help individuals build skills, enhance well-being, and promote personal growth, all while enjoying the natural beauty of the woodland environment.
Our programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of each participant, fostering a sense of achievement and belonging.
Building Confidence Through Learning: Our tutors offer personalised sessions in basic maths and English, supporting adults in their educational journey at their own pace. From improving literacy and numeracy to developing communication skills, we focus on practical learning that can be applied in everyday life.
Hands-On Growth: Experience the joy of planting, tending, and harvesting in our beautiful garden. Gardening is a wonderful way to engage with nature while learning valuable skills related to plants, sustainability, and eco-friendly practices. It’s also a therapeutic activity that encourages mindfulness and relaxation.
Connecting with the Outdoors: Our woodland setting is perfect for exploring nature. Guided walks, bird watching, and nature trails help participants discover the beauty of the natural world while promoting physical activity and mental well-being. It’s a great way to experience the healing power of nature while enjoying fresh air and scenic views
Express Yourself Through Art: Drama workshops and other creative arts activities allow participants to build confidence, express emotions, and improve communication skills in a fun, supportive environment. From role-playing and storytelling to painting and sculpture, creativity thrives here.
Healing Through Music: Music is a universal language that can connect and heal. Our music sessions include singing, instrument play, and rhythm exercises that help develop coordination, encourage self-expression, and improve communication skills. Whether it’s learning an instrument or simply enjoying music together, our sessions provide a sense of joy and accomplishment.
Practical Skills in Bike Maintenance: In our bike repair workshop, participants learn valuable, practical skills such as fixing punctures, adjusting gears, and basic bike maintenance. This activity helps build independence and confidence while learning a skill that can be applied in everyday life
Unleash Your Creativity: Our arts and crafts sessions offer a variety of creative outlets, from painting and drawing to pottery and sewing. Participants can express themselves, create beautiful pieces, and experience the joy of making something with their hands
Move to the Rhythm: Dance is a fun and energising way to improve coordination, balance, and confidence. Whether it’s simple stretches, rhythm-based movements, or guided dance routines, our dance sessions allow participants to enjoy movement in a supportive and welcoming environment
Step Into Wellness: Walking is one of the simplest and most accessible forms of exercise. We offer regular walking sessions through our woodland trails, promoting physical fitness while allowing participants to enjoy the calming effects of nature. Walking together also helps build social connections and fosters a sense of community
Healing with Alpacas: Spend time with our gentle alpacas in a calming, nature-based therapy setting. Alpaca therapy promotes emotional well-being, reduces anxiety, and fosters a sense of calm and connection with these friendly animals
Reconnect with the Earth: Engage in a mindful practice of tree hugging and connecting with the natural world. Studies show that spending time with trees can lower stress levels, improve mood, and increase feelings of connectedness and balance
Walk the Path of Positivity: Take part in our guided “Path of Positivity,” a mindfulness journey through our woodland trails. Along the path, participants engage in positive affirmations, meditation, and reflective exercises designed to promote mental clarity, happiness, and emotional healing
