Peace of Green CIC
Peace of Green exists to provide therapeutic and creative time in nature, in order to improve mental health and wellbeing. We work with everyone, but strive to prioritise improving access to natural spaces for people who often have less chances to access nature due to financial circumstances, age, gender, ethnicity, ability or other barrier.
