On Wednesday 17th September 2025, Dr Georgina Gould and Dr Emma Fredman delivered a wellbeing workshop at Pensford Field, Kew, hosted by Dose of Nature for the staff and volunteers at LVA Trust.

LVA Trust provides relationship, sex, and health education (RSHE) to schools and communities, supporting young people to feel loved, valued, and able. Their work includes interactive workshops, therapeutic mentoring, and training for parents and teachers.

This wellbeing workshop gave their staff and volunteers the chance to pause, recharge, and explore how time in nature can be used as a powerful tool for wellbeing — both personally and in the vital work they do.

As with our other workshops, the session combined scientific insights into the mental health benefits of nature with practical, hands-on activities to bring these benefits to life. Participants explored how time outdoors can support wellbeing, while also learning simple, sensory ways to strengthen their everyday connection with the natural world.



The afternoon was filled with reflection, fresh air, and shared experiences — leaving everyone feeling inspired, refreshed, and more connected to both nature and each other.
