Recipient Org: Description Green Gym exists for two primary purposes. First, to enhance the health and wellbeing of participants. Second, to achieve that through outdoor conservation work. Recent work has included the development and maintenance of a community orchard, construction of benches and development of wildlife areas for primary schools,and clearing ponds, streams and common land. The Green Gym initiative began nationally at the prompting of a doctor who identified the benefits of such activities for patients with physical and mental health problems.Green Gyms are initiated by The Conservation Volunteers, a national charity, but are expected to be self-governing and self-funding after an initial phase which, in our case, is some time in the past. We run a weekly session, lasting three hours, 50 weeks a year. We use hand rather than power tools to maximize health benefits and minimize costs.
