Health & Wellbeing
We will offer space for volunteers of all ages. During their day, volunteers will have the opportunity to get stuck in with animal care, gardening, administrative tasks, project and biodiversity management.
Volunteers will be transported to and from the site using our electric minibus so we can reduce the amount of traffic and co2 emissions that we create.
We will offer clients and volunteers the opportunity to take part in several recreational activities during their time with us. Activities will include archery, nerf battles, team sports days, and a range of fun and stimulating challenges.
These activities will help break up the day for clients and volunteers, providing enjoyment, amusement, and an opportunity to indirectly work on cognitive, team building, and personal development skills.
The physical and mental health benefits of being outdoors have been widely studied. Reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood, reducing depression, improving confidence, and encouraging social interaction, to name a few.
Although Comraich will not provide any in-person or animal assisted therapy, we know that the atmosphere we create will be therapeutic to those who visit. We will encourage clients and volunteers to enjoy the peace of the countryside, and relearn how to slow-down.
