Fine Fettle

An outdoor personal development programme 

The Fine Fettle programme supports adults with lived experience of mental health to develop outdoor volunteering and personal skills. Participants will meet new people, develop new interests, or rediscover previous joys in life, as well as being offered the support to progress onto new opportunities that interest them.

Do you work with people with a lived experience of mental health?

Could you refer people who would like to build their confidence, improve their skills and enhance their wellbeing in the beautiful Wentworth Castle Gardens woodland?

Fine Fettle supports adults with a lived experience of mental health to engage in outdoor activities including forest skills, wildlife identification, nature-based arts, folklore, mindfulness and much more.

During the programme people will meet new people, develop new interests or rediscover previous joys in life, as well as being offered the support to progress onto new opportunities that interest them. Following the Forest School philosophy of learning, people are at the heart of the programme, helping to shape the course content and discover opportunities to explore peer mentoring beyond the course.

Fine Fettle takes place one full day a week, for six weeks, between March to August.
