Connecting Carers with Nature: How Your Support Makes a Difference Last week, thanks to the generosity of our Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum (FOWA) members, we were able to help fund transport for a very special wellbeing day at Westonbirt Arboretum. The session, run by the Learning Team in partnership with Carers Support Centre, brought together local carers for four hours of nature connection, creativity, and respite. 02 December 2025
Growing Wellbeing Through Nature: Our Journey with Swindon Mind At the Silkwood Community Planting Project, groups come together to volunteer their time, planting and caring for trees. But it’s also a chance to slow down, and grow deeper connections with nature. Since April, one particular group, Swindon Mind, has become frequent visitors to the project, participating in a series of monthly Wellbeing in Nature workshops. A group of adults supported by the charity have been introduced to the benefits of spending time in nature to promote mental wellbeing. 02 December 2025
