We’re delighted that Dose of Nature has been featured in the Financial Times Weekend, with Global Health Editor Sarah Neville, spotlighting the growing impact of our nature-based mental health programme.

Being recognised in a national publication is a meaningful moment for us—and more importantly, it affirms the stories of transformation we witness every day. The article explores how supported time in nature is helping individuals manage complex mental health challenges, often after years of struggling within the traditional system.

One participant shared:

“It unlocked an inner confidence and self-assuredness that I’ve never had before in my life.”

Another reflected:

“When your mind is so frantic... if you can start to hear the birds sing, suddenly it can tune you into the present. It reframes your human experience.”

The article highlights that the programme has “consistently outperformed equivalent NHS interventions,” even for those with more severe or complex needs. Studies referenced in the piece show significant improvements in symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as a measurable reduction in GP contact following participation.

We’re grateful to the Financial Times for recognising the value of nature in healing—and to all those who continue to place their trust in us as they begin their journey towards mental health recovery.
