Cynon Valley Organic Adventures offers an alternative education service where doctors, Health Boards and charities can refer patients to an alternative treatment of wellbeing support in a green environment. Set in Rhondda Cynon Taff, Cynon Valley Organic Adventures builds on existing links between local GPs, wellbeing coordinators and Cynon Valley Organic Adventures, creating new opportunities to engage with a nature.
Green Prescribing works by enabling healthcare professionals to refer people to nature-based activities – such as gardening or outdoor activities – bringing mental and physical benefits.
Janis Werrett, Director of Cynon Valley Organic Adventures said:
"The project will not only give local people opportunities to improve well-being but will also help us to develop an amazing community space that will act as a source of learning and accessible green space for years to come.”
This project was supported by Accelerate, a now-closed programme led by Life Sciences Hub Wales.
