During the year, High Ashes Rural Project CIC. has continued to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive rural environment for adults with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, and mental health challenges. Our aim is to help individuals build confidence, learn practical skills, and improve wellbeing through nature-based and creative activities. We have delivered a range of hands-on sessions in gardening, animal care, woodwork, and crafts, alongside wellbeing activities such as mindfulness walks, nature art, and seasonal events. These sessions encourage teamwork, communication, and a sense of achievement for participants. Our community garden has expanded We have supported people who are socially isolated or struggling with their mental health by offering small group sessions that promote connection and belonging. Volunteers have been involved throughout, gaining experience and contributing to a welcoming community Our activities have helped participants increase their confidence, develop new skills, and improve their mental and emotional wellbeing. We have expanded our work with local families, carers, and community partners to ensure our services remain responsive to local needs.
We regularly consult with our stakeholders, including adults with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, and mental hea1th needs, as well as their families, carers, volunteers, and local partners. Consultation takes place through informal discussions during bur sessions at High Ashes, regular volunteer meetings, feedback forms, and direct conversations with families and support workers. We also gather views through our local community events. Feedback over the year has been very positive. Participants and families told us that attending the project helps build confidence, reduce isolation, and improve wellbeing through meaningful outdoor and creative activities. They particularly value the friendly, supportive environment and the opportunity to learn new skills in animal care, gardening, and crafts. Stakeholders suggested adding more social and wellbeing activities, as well as improving transport access for those living further away. In response, we have introduced additional group sessions, seasonal events, and are actively exploring funding options to support accessible transport for participants. We continue to keep in close contact with our community, ensuring their views shape our plans and help us deliver activities that meet local needs
