About your mentor

Out to the Woods CIC

Connect with nature

I am a Level three Forest School trained and am fully insured. I currently run a Forest School based Admiral Woods in Bicknor, Kent. I have just completed the certificate in Green Dementia Care, an accredited course run by the Therapeutic Forest CIC. The course is the first of its kind in the UK and covered modules taught by clinical psychologists to support mental health and well-being in the outdoors. The research into Green Care is very positive about its benefits to residents – reducing agitation and increasing engagement. There is also evidence that green sessions also support the well-being and happiness of care staff as can be seen in this review by Worcester Council. and University of Worcester. I am passionate about bringing the benefits of nature to all members of the community, although getting out into the woods is not always possible so we will be bringing the woods to Milton Creek Country Park. Based in the newly built room at Milton Creek, we will offer FREE bi-monthly sessions for over 55s and support workers/ carers from November 2025. Some examples of the type of activities we can offer could include: Hapa Zome (a Japanese art form using hammers and petals/leaves to make prints on fabric Using tools to create woodland craft – this will be supported and we have risk assessments in place.

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
