I am healthier and more confident
January 24, 2024
When you are in the forest you walk more, when I am not in the forest I am more self-conscious walking around so I don’t do it as much, so I would definitely say that I am healthier and more confident here.
I didn't want to get my hands dirty
January 24, 2024
When I first came here I didn’t want to get dirty for anyone, being outside meant that I was going to get a bit dirty making things out of wood and using my hands, but months later I am still coming and I want to keep coming, it does me so much good being outside in nature and with the group but I also have the option of working on my own which is important to me
5 out of 5

What can I say? 5 out of 5 stars !
It makes me feel calm and relaxed here
December 5, 2022
This helps me recognise I am part of the world. With my mental health I wouldn’t talk to anyone before much and kept myself to myself since I’ve been here something has changed. Being in nature makes me realise that we take things for granted from the smallest ant to the trees. Being here gives me a sense of freedom with my mental health and wellbeing, it makes me feel calm and relaxed and feeling that I am part of something, I am definitely understanding myself more and my inner self. Staff are very good and very supportive and have guided me through times, I have also made some friends here
I liked the first course so much I went again
December 5, 2022
Its been very helpful being here. I was out of my depth at the start and now I have cooked a meal on an open fire and the comments that I got from the group have been helpful to me, I’ve pushed myself, and they have been great. I think it would have been helpful to have known a bit more about it and what I was going to do before I came on that first week with a leaflet or something just to help put aside any fears I had at the start. I liked the first course so much I went on to do a second one
It keeps my mind off other things

Being out in the woods, meeting different people, lovely food, learning new things its all positive for me being outside, it helps to keep my mind off other things. Staff are nice too
It has helped my Mental Health
December 5, 2022
It helps me with socialisation, I’m in a group and it helps sometimes to talk with others who are in the group too. I’ve learned how to make a few things and about conservation. It has helped my mental health being here. The staff are helpful. I’ve put my name down for the next course. I think rather than give people medication maybe this is worth a try
More people should be able to access this
December 5, 2022
Very compassionate and friendly staff that are so understanding. Being in an environment of being accepted and not judged is priceless. I think more people should be able to access this as it is so good.
Love being out here!

Big tick and smiley face from me, love being out here!, thank you Green Light Trust
Its brilliant here, I feel part of something
December 5, 2022
It doesn’t suit me to sit in a room to talk and so things can be left and bury them, being here gives a feeling of togetherness, the fire and the wind in the trees is creative, takes you back to being like a child, the experience brings freedom to me, its brilliant, I feel part of something
