Becoming a buddy is an opportunity to gain skills and hands-on experience in support work and social and therapeutic gardening. Forest Farm Peace Garden's ecotherapy programme supports people with mental health recovery needs such as depression, anxiety, and social isolation.
Buddy volunteers provide one-to-one support in the garden, may lead or co-lead a workshop or activity, and help with the general running of the ecotherapy sessions.
