BLF Singing for Lung Health

We provide group activities which combine learning and meaningful conservation activities with opportunities to meet people. Activities typically involve a day spent at our setting, a thirty year old rewilding project consisting of wildflower meadows, thorny hedges, native trees and a wildlife pond. Previous activity days have included, tree planting, nature print making, winter tree identification, hedge laying, fedging (creation of a living willow fence) and environmental art. All our activity days involve time spent around the campfire sharing stories and simple food.

We are currently making a Mindful Garden. Creating and maintaining the Mindful Garden will provide opportunities for social interaction, and learning for anyone seeking to improve their wellbeing with a particular focus on engaging any disconnected, vulnerable and/or lonely individuals and groups. We seek in particular but not exclusively to work with people accessing mental health support, older people and those with care / caring experience and young people. We will provide new opportunities for people to be active in nature restoration and maintenance whilst acquiring new skills. We seek to build a community of people who can access the Mindful Garden and the people they meet there to support their wellbeing. Our project will support participants to develop new skills and make connections to nature and with other people.
