We’re excited to welcome Helen Perkins who is our new Senior Development Officer Green Health 🙂
Helen is originally from Cornwall but has lived here in the Highlands for over 15 years . Helen moved here to be near the Mountains so she could ski more.
Helen tells us “ I still love to ski but you’ll find me on the beginners slopes now with my kids! ”
Helen goes on to say, “ I Love this area as I can experience being in the snow at wintertime and also get to enjoy dipping in the beautiful Lochs, rivers and sea in the summer months. I have worked as an Mental Health Occupational Therapist, prior to this role and have enjoyed offering groups and activities delivered in the outdoor environment. This included Branching out Groups and weekly Greenspace activities within the hospital grounds . I am lucky to experience the benefit of nature and the outdoor environment within my personal life and sharing it with others within a work setting . I truly believe of the benefits of offering Green health-based activities to improve a persons wellbeing. “
