Breathing Space
Putting Heart and Soul into Health and Wellbeing
Breathing Space provides a rural base in an idyllic setting for groups, organisations and individuals to explore and improve their overall health and well-being. We run groups, activities and events that make use of our beautiful 800 year old church environment (St. Michael’s & All Angels Church) and local nature reserve (Witton Dene). Our activities are informed by the Five Ways To Wellbeing: Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Learn, and Give. We are committed to a caring and compassionate response to people’s needs that has, as its source, an open, inclusive & non-discriminatory welcome, encouraging individuals to explore creative ways to maintain positive health & wellbeing.
Why the community needs us
Why the community needs us
With a cost of living crisis and the recent pandemic affecting us all, we aim to provide a safe, relaxing time out. Practical activities allow us to remove ourselves from familiar and anxiety-making surroundings, and focussing on a new practical challenge, improves our confidence and self-esteem. We use the local natural environment to support physical, mental & emotional wellbeing and encourage participation as a pathway to physical activity and as an antidote to social isolation and loneliness. All are welcome at Breathing Space as we support each other and enjoy the company of old and new friends.
