Tortworth Forest Centre

The ERF has agreed to give a £3000 grant to Tortworth Forest Centre. This is an enterprise that provides 'green therapy' to women struggling with their mental health. Being in the outdoors, whether in a wood or on a beach, helped Ella to become more grounded. Nature can help calm and heal people.

The funding will provide up to 14 women weekly a safe and supportive women-only space to learn bushcraft skills, build confidence outdoors, and experience community and belonging in nature. Participants are supported to realise their potential and strengthen resilience.
