Swindon Community Wellbeing

Supporting mental wellbeing through nature and community connection.

Through time spent in local green spaces and shared community activities, the Swindon Community Wellbeing Programme offers gentle ways for people facing mental health challenges and social isolation to re-engage with their surroundings, and each other.

What is it?

We provide 12-week programmes during which participants will spend time outdoors, in a small friendly group, doing a range of activities like:

Nature walks and practical conservation tasks
Creative sessions using natural materials
Visits to local nature reserves and green spaces

You don’t need any experience – just come as you are.

Who is it for?

The programme is for adults who live in Swindon, or who use support services in the town, living with mental health issues or who are experiencing loneliness and isolation.

This is a safe, welcoming space where you can take a breath, try something new, and find a sense of belonging.

We offer:

Free minibus pick-up and drop-off from Swindon train station
Hot drinks and healthy snacks each week (just bring a packed lunch and some water)
Follow-on support after the programme ends
A chance to meet others, try new things, and feel more connected to nature and your community
