Welcome to Wild Mind Well-Being in Buckinghamshire. From our farm between the villages of Bourne End and Flackwell Heath we provide inclusive opportunities for children and young people up to the age of 25 facing diverse health & social care challenges. Our offerings encompass Farm Therapy, Social Care, Work Preparation, Well-Being Coaching, and Educational placements.
Our students are able to study: Animal Care, Construction, Art, Horticulture, Life Skills. Each student also has the opportunity to take part in teen life coaching sessions. Mentors work with our students throughout the day on either a 1:1 or small group basis.
Our alternative provision offers a nurturing and supportive environment tailored for young individuals who may encounter difficulties in traditional learning settings. At Wild Mind Well-Being, young people have the opportunity to enhance their health and well-being while acquiring valuable qualifications and skills. Clients enjoy the therapeutic effects of spending time outdoors, working with a mentor, learning new skills and enjoying time with our rescue animals. For some, our care farm serves as a stepping stone back to mainstream education or towards work.
Referrals to our alternative provision come from various sources, including schools, local authorities, parents, and other agencies. These referrals address a range of needs, such as learning difficulties, disabilities, neurodiversity, behavioural challenges, or mental health concerns.
Whether integrated into Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), incorporated into an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP), or utilised as Alternative Education Provision, our care farm provides a holistic approach to well-being, fostering growth and development in a unique and supportive setting.
The Older Drivers Forum is always looking for new ways to support mature motorists to carry on driving safely for longer.
We are pleased to announce we are teaming up with Liverpool John Moores University in a study to look at attitudes to road safety and driving which will help us in the future address relevant subjects and advice so we can help tailor our website and the right information to support you.
Lindengate is a multi-award winning Nature based Health and Wellbeing Charity based in Wendover, Bucks, at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. Since 2014, and with the support of over 200 volunteers, Lindengate has transformed from a disused allotment site with 2 metre high nettles, to a unique 6 acre secret garden with a Nature Reserve, Ponds, Heritage Orchard, Kitchen Garden and Sensory Garden with sculptures and heritage-based art hidden across the site.
Lindengate@Home (#lindengate@home) is for everyone who are being impacted by their mental health support needs on a day to day basis. This includes people who are feeling socially isolated and/or are experiencing mild to moderate depression, anxiety, stress or are struggling to return to work after a period of sick leave.
At each session, there are seasonal nature based activities, arts and crafts, singing, reminiscing, poetry and more.
If you are working with someone who may benefit from attending a Lindengate Programme, please contact us for more information about what we can offer, suitability and funding options.
2.4 million adults in England alone cannot read at all or struggle to read, but many people don’t tell anyone. There are many reasons why some people find it difficult to learn to read when they are children, but the good news is that it’s never too late to learn.
We know it can seem like a big challenge, but improving your reading skills can change your life. We have helped hundreds of adults to learn to read and are here to support you when you’re ready.
At Chiltern we can provide Music Therapy, Neurologic Music Therapy and Community Music services both digitally and in person across England.
We work with people of all ages and needs. We work with people in acute, targeted, rehabilitative and continuing and preventative care. We have outlined below some of the different areas that we support but we are not limited by this, so please do get in touch to see how we can support you. Click on the boxes to find out more.
Currently there is a regular group session in High Wycombe.
Making Every Contact Count.
The Make Every Contact Count (MECC) approach is simple, everyone can take a MECC approach; by working together we can achieve a greater impact.
MECC stands for Make Every Contact Count which is an approach to behaviour change that uses the millions of day-to-day interactions that organisations and people have with other people to support them in making positive changes to their physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Courses range from one-day to one-year and we cover beginner through to advanced levels, offering daytime and evening flexibility.
