DR Woodland Wellbeing

DR Woodland Wellbeing formed in response to the escalating social isolation and poor mental health in Bradford South. Founders Rob and David saw these issues impact their friends and neighbours each day. Through years of facilitating outdoor activities, they had seen the benefits for participants. They decided that they would use their unique skillset to help local people.

About us

Our outdoor group sessions contribute to reduced loneliness and healthier lifestyles.

These sessions include practical activities, a warm welcome and a chance to chat. We have consistently engaged local working-class men; an often hard-to-reach demographic.

It really works. Participants report a positive impact on their wellbeing; some indicating that regular attendance has prevented the deterioration of their mental health.
