Nature, Health and Well-being HCC Corporate Biodiversity Group Aug 08 1 Nature, Health and Well-being Evidence to Hampshire County Council’s Commission of Inquiry on Personalisation Prepared by David Pape and Jacklyn Johnston on behalf of Hampshire County Council’s Corporate Biodiversity Group* 1 INTRODUCTION There is substantial and growing evidence that nature can make a major contribution to improving health and well-being. Nature is an untapped resource that could significantly contribute to health and in turn provide considerable financial savings to the economy. There is compelling evidence that contact with nature can: • maintain good health • help recovery from illness • alleviate stress and mental health problems • improve physical health • improve quality of life for older people • enhance social interaction and improve community cohesion • reduce aggression, violence and crime • improve children’s well-being into adulthood. Evidence supporting these facts has been brought

The research sought the views of service users, practitioners and educationalists through use of interviews, focus groups, a nominal group, and an ethnographic case study group. This research raised other considerations:namely,that people seeking personal recovery also,through stewardship of green spaces,may achieve unanticipated social capital and natural capital ou

No Problem. Gardening doesn’t have to be a chore, or hard work. You needn’t strain your back lifting heavy pots and sacks of compost - and stooping is optional. Follow our guide to taking the strife out of your gardening life: First, where are you going to plant? With a few simple changes, it’s possible to make your garden set up more user-friendly and comfortable. Instead of bending to reach pots on the ground, use two planters, setting one upside down with another one on top to raise its height and so reduce need for stooping. Or stack several pots until the top one

Sensory Trust information sheet Plain language is not designed to corrupt and debase the glories of the English language. It is designed to communicate precisely the things you need to communicate to your intended audience. We use the term plain language because many of the principles here can apply to information produced in any language. Benefits of plain language Readers are more likely to: l bother to read clear concise documents than long complex ones; l understand what you are saying; l favour organisations that say things clearly. Information providers benefit because: l your message is more likely to be understood and acted upon; l shorter documents require less paper; l you can say more in the same space; l translations into, for example, Braille are cheaper to produce and easier to use. Guidelines Before you start writing be clear about: l who you are talking to; l what you want to tell them; l what they want and need to know; l what you want them to do as a r

early years There are so many great reasons for taking learning and play outdoors. Seasonal and weather changes help develop children holistically and encourage specific areas of learning, such as knowledge and understanding of the world. With places to relax and daydream in, and places to be loud and creative, feelings and emotions can be explored. Numeracy and problem-solving can be supported with hands-on experiences and the chance to work on a larger scale. It is a great place to tell stories, sing songs and support role play. Outdoors children can manage physical risks and test their boundaries. They can create dens and hiding places and engage in experiences that help develop life skills such as confidence, creativity and decision-making. And last, but not least, fresh air and activity are essential for children’s wellbeing and health. The more children’s muscles and senses are exercised, the more the brain develops its capacity for learning. Being outdoors can transform
