Lindengate Mental Health Charity

Using Nature to Nurture

Lindengate Mental Health Charity is located at a stunning five-acre site near Wendover, where nature breathes new life into anyone who is struggling with their wellbeing. The garden lends itself to supporting people in recovery from a range of common mental health needs.

Rest & Reflect – Free Drop-In Sessions

Finding time to give yourself space can be difficult in the best of weather, but in Winter, the challenge becomes even greater. There are many benefits to spending just a few minutes a day outdoors. Here are a few of them:

• 15 minutes outdoors every day can improve both our moods and our physical health, leading to reduced stress and increased self-esteem

• Builds our immune system, as the cold weather actually kills off bacteria.

• With the current restrictions in place, we can meet up with a friend, which will improve our mental wellbeing, through social interaction.

During the past few months, Lindengate has opened its gates as part of its Rest & Reflect programme, supporting anyone who has been struggling with their mental wellbeing and to date, has welcomed over 1,500 people.

Lindegate will be continuing this support into 2021, with plenty of sheltered areas dotted about the 5 acre site and space to meet with a friend for a chat or to bring a book and enjoy the peace amongst the wildlife, ensuring the therapeutic gardens and wildlife haven are accessible to anyone who needs it.
