Green Minds Programme

Spending time in nature has multiple health benefits and at Green Minds, a programme run by Brecon Mind, we know that our health and wellbeing is dependent on a deeper and more reciprocal relationship with the natural world around us. Through the use of horticultural activities, restorative nature-connection sessions, walking and craft- making we support local people wishing to improve their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

We offer opportunities for people to reconnect with themselves and to nature as well as develop practical and meaningful skills. Our approach is to learn and grow together and walk alongside those on a journey to improve and maintain their wellbeing, and we offer safe, healing environments that provide respite from life’s daily challenges.

Whether you choose to volunteer as a gardener on our Social & Therapeutic Horticulture project at Brecon Cathedral, participate in one of our eco-therapy programmes, join one of our Branching Out local walks in nature or get involved in craft-making, the Green Minds team are here to support you in taking manageable steps to build confidence, skills and bring more peace and happiness into your life.

If you would like to refer yourself directly to any of our services or if you are a GP, mental health practitioner, support worker or social prescriber who knows someone who might benefit from participating in our programme, please send a message to seren@breconmind.org.uk or call 01874 611 529 and we will be in touch as soon as possible.
