Headspace Wellbeing Programme
Gardening
The Headspace allotment is a space for young people, struggling with their emotions, to take part in gardening activities such as planting, weeding and growing at our allotment in Bourton-on-the-Water. These activities allow young people to focus on something different and gives them time away from the issues they may be facing whilst also learning a new skill, seeing the results of their hard work and enjoying nature.
The allotment is run by experienced volunteers with enhanced DBS checks. Activities are fully risk assessed and the allotment is only open when supervised by trained volunteers.
Mind Mechanics
Mind Mechanics is a bike recycling project where young people, who are struggling with their emotions, tinker with reclaimed bike parts, which are then recycled and donated or sold. The focus of this project is the emotional benefits of occupying time and thoughts and learning new skills which can be put to good use in the future. The project also offers bike servicing and spare parts sales and stops bikes going to landfill. Profits from the project are reinvested into running the Headspace Wellbeing Programme.
Mind Mechanics is run by experienced volunteers with enhanced DBS checks. The workshop and activities are fully risk assessed and only open when supervised by trained professionals.
