Forest of Hearts

A team from @confexltd swapped their home offices for the Warwickshire countryside to get hands on and plant trees with us at our nature reserve 👏🏻

Our Green Therapy group spotted lots of signs of Spring in the Garden of Wellbeing today at Stratford-upon-Avon hospital 😁☀️🌼🪺🌳

From all of us at Forest of Hearts, we wish you a peaceful, joyful Christmas 🎄💫

🐦🪵 Building bird homes together! Our community groups have been busy turning scrap wood into bird boxes, giving garden wildlife a safe place to nest. A fun, sustainable project that makes a big difference for nature and prevents waste 💚

This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to sustainability and creating nature-positive spaces that nurture biodiversity, wellbeing, and community connection 🌍

Thank you to everybody who has been a part of our green journey and for supporting us. Massive thanks to the lovely folks at @GreenTourismUK for the recognition 🙂

We’re delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Green Tourism Gold accreditation - the highest recognition for sustainability excellence in the tourism and hospitality sector 💚

A huge thank you to the 33 incredible volunteers from @nfum who joined us at The Garden of Arden earlier this month 🌿 👏🏻 As part of their 'Doing Our Bit' initiative, the team swapped their offices for the great outdoors and made a real impact on our five-acre site

Our corporate wellbeing days boost staff engagement and wellbeing, and every event helps fund our community wellbeing projects 💚 #MentalHealthMatters 💭

Our horticultural therapy groups help reduce isolation and loneliness by bringing people outdoors, offering peer support from those with lived experience, and creating meaningful ways to give back to the local community 🙂

On #WorldMentalHealthDay we honour the importance of mental wellbeing. Improving mental health and wellbeing is at the heart of our charity. By creating gardens and green spaces, we offer places of purpose for people to relax, connect with nature, and heal 💙

🥤We bottled up plenty for folks to take home, and hospital staff were keen to grab a few too! 🙂 It was a great day of bringing people together, making use of apples to prevent waste, and celebrating the season.

🍏 We enjoyed a fun and productive day of apple pressing with our community group at Stratford-upon-Avon hospital. 🍎 Using apples we had picked from local orchards, we set up the press and people stopped by to watch, chat, and taste the juice.

🍏 As part of our Harvest Share project, we spent several days in local orchards, handpicking apples to share with care homes and those in need within the community 🍎

We recently created a garden outside the new Community Diagnostic Building at Stratford-upon-Avon hospital 🌿🌸🪴🌺 🏥

We had a lovely evening at the @wcavaorg Recognition and Rewards Event after being nominated 🙂 We were thrilled to be presented with 3 awards in recognition of our local Green Therapy groups and the wonderful volunteers who attend for their community impact 💚

Lots of beneficial and impactful tasks were performed to help maintain and progress our nature reserve and hospital garden 👏🏻💪🏻 🙂 We appreciate their hard work, dedication and on going support to help local community green spaces thrive 🌿

Over the past month we hosted 3 more volunteering days with @NFUMutual_UK for 41 employees from their Learning & Development team and Strategy & Risk team 💚
