Support
If you deliver green health activities in Highland, you may meet people who are going through difficulties in their lives or for whom you have concerns. You do not need to feel that it is your role to support such individuals. There are dedicated professionals available across Highland to provide support. Information on how to contact them can be found in the following links.
Training
Think Health Think Nature organise free training events from time to time and promote training delivered through our partnership. To be kept up to date on the latest available training we recommend you sign up to our monthly e-newsletter by contacting info@thinkhealththinknature.scot
Funding
Many of the nature based health and wellbeing activities delivered in Highland are run by the Third Sector and rely heavily on volunteers to make them happen. It is acknowledged that the funding landscape can be challenging for small groups and organisations. Think Health Think Nature are constantly on the look out for sources of funding for community groups and will feature funding streams in our monthly newsletter. We also offer advice and letters of support. Please contact us.
We recommend you visit the our partners at the Highland Third Sector Interface for further support and advice on making funding applications.
