Adult Services

We specialise in providing nature-focused activities tailored for adults to promote or rehabilitate physical health and emotional wellbeing. Our outreach programmes also provide an alternative to traditional day services, build skills for employment, offer employment opportunities, and help older adults thrive through connection with nature.

We welcome adults of all abilities with varied learning preferences and life experiences to help them realise their self-worth and potential. Adults who use our services may:

  • have been diagnosed with a learning disability or recognise they have learning difficulties 

  • have challenges to their skills and function from injury, disease, or illness

  • have a visual impairment, hearing difficulty or loss

  • have been given a diagnosis of, or self-identify as being on the autism spectrum

  • have been given a diagnosis of or self-identify their behaviours as ADHD

  • be experiencing emotional distress or trauma, or have been given a mental health diagnosis

Nature’s pathway to wellbeing

Whether it be a need for rehabilitation from injury, living well with a long-term illness, reduction of emotional distress, or discovering how nature can promote health and happiness; our activities enable adults to harness the power and beauty of natural environments to improve their physical health and emotional wellbeing.

Life-long learning 

As an approved AQA provider, we offer people the opportunity to achieve formal recognition for their progress through the AQA Unit Award Scheme. Participants can build a portfolio of certificates, developing a record of their skills, knowledge, and experience. The ability to engage in learning boosts confidence, engagement, and motivation, supporting progress on their journey.

Employability through participation

We integrate employability training within our activities, supporting participants to take part in a wide variety of local conservation and gardening projects. These activities cultivate practical and social skills that can be applied in working environments.
