Green Social Prescribing Support (Trafford)

TCV’s Health in Nature Trafford Project aims to connect people to nature-based activities to improve physical health and mental wellbeing.

Taking part in nature-based activities can benefit both mental and physical health. Evidence shows that increased connection with nature can support:

  • improved mood
  • increased activity levels
  • improved physical health
  • improved confidence and self esteem
  • reduce depression, loneliness and anxiety
  • new friendships and feeling part of the community

What is green social prescribing?

Green social prescribing links people with nature-based activities to improve their health and wellbeing. Activities are varied and can include community gardening, conservation volunteering, walking groups and arts and cultural activities which take place outdoors.
