Creating spaces for reflection in nature for people grieving
By Damian Haasjes, Head of Business Development & Community Engagement
This September, we were proud to announce a new partnership with Dorothy House to increase nature connectedness and wellbeing for people diagnosed with a life limiting illness or experiencing grief after the death of a loved one.
As part of this partnership, we will help to connect the grounds at the Dorothy House Hospice in Winsley to the Kennet and Avon canal path in the valley below, and help to improve biodiversity on the hospice grounds. We will promote the Trust’s many nature reserves as ‘local’ places for people to reflect and engage with nature. We are also sharing free digital resources to support anyone experiencing grief.
The Trust has a strong history of helping people connect with nature, and we’ve seen the benefits it has for people’s health and wellbeing. By restoring biodiversity and increasing access to beautiful natural spaces, we can provide vital refuges for reflection and restoration to anyone facing grief and bereavement.
