Thanks to funding from South Yorkshire’s Community Foundation, from summer 2024 we are offering walks at parks and other green spaces around Sheffield and the Peak District!
Green Social Prescribing enables us to take groups of people from Darnall, Tinsley, Attercliffe and Handsworth to explore green spaces, to help them manage their mental health and wellbeing. We pay bus fares or provide minibus transport, giving local people the opportunity to discover different parts of Sheffield and the Peak District. In previous years, we have taken people to enjoy guided walks at the Botanical Gardens, Weston Park, Millhouses Park, Longshaw Estate and Chatsworth.
Feedback we’ve had from people who came on our previous Green Social Prescribing walks has been that it has helped them to feel closer to nature, take time for themselves, meet new people and learn new ways of managing their mental wellbeing.
If you would like some help managing your mental health and wellbeing by coming to our Green Social Prescribing sessions, you can be referred by your GP or other medical professional – or you can refer yourself by phoning Jo on 0114 249 6315.
