I remember crossing the finishing line and thinking that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I reached a new level of pushing myself out of my comfort zone, which I’m really grateful for.

“It was nice to feel heard about the impact the cold was having on my family. Even just being able to talk to someone who understood, made it feel like a weight had been lifted.” – Jade, Green Doctor beneficiary.

“In winter, most weeks I would think there is no way I am going out there – it’s too cold or wet – these sessions make sure that we do go outside more and it improves our wellbeing.” – Wellies in the Woods participant.
