Connecting People, Nature, and Wellbeing

Natural Wellbeing Scotland (NWS) is a dedicated charity committed to improving the health and wellbeing of people, communities, and the environment. Our mission is built on three foundational pillars: individual wellbeing, community health, and environmental stewardship. Through our diverse range of programs and initiatives, we strive to make a meaningful impact on each of these areas.

1. Enhancing Individual Wellbeing: We believe that connecting with nature is essential for personal health and happiness. Our programs are designed to provide individuals with opportunities to engage in outdoor activities that promote physical fitness, mental health, and overall wellbeing. From kayaking and paddleboarding to nature walks and e-bike sessions, we offer a variety of activities that help people find joy, relaxation, and a sense of accomplishment.

2. Fostering Community Health: Strong communities are built on connections and shared experiences. NWS creates spaces where people can come together, support one another, and build lasting relationships. Our initiatives, such as Walk & Talk Sessions and community litter picks, are designed to encourage social interaction, peer support, and a sense of belonging. By fostering community health, we aim to create resilient and supportive networks that enhance the quality of life for everyone involved.

3. Promoting Environmental Stewardship: Protecting and preserving our natural environment is at the heart of our mission. We are dedicated to educating and empowering individuals and communities to take an active role in environmental conservation. Our programs, such as Water for Wellbeing Sessions and Enviro-Mental-Wellbeing Sessions, focus on cleaning up natural spaces, removing invasive species, and promoting sustainable practices. Through these efforts, we aim to ensure that future generations can enjoy and benefit from a healthy and vibrant environment.

Our Vision for the Future: NWS envisions a world where people, communities, and the environment thrive together in harmony. By continuing to expand our programs and reach, we aspire to make a lasting impact on the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities across Scotland. We are committed to creating a sustainable future where nature is protected, and everyone has the opportunity to experience its benefits.
