Outdoor opportunities in Caerphilly
The Nature Wellbeing website gives information about opportunities provided by groups and organisations across Caerphilly County Borough.
These opportunities can help people get more active outdoors and enjoy local green spaces to benefit their wellbeing and health.
The website also helps people understand what is available and where, as well as encouraging people to get outdoors informally in their own local area.
Nature Wellbeing Network
Partners have formed a Nature Wellbeing Network across the borough.
The network works with GPs, health professionals and relevant support agencies, who can refer people to outdoor, nature-based activities where appropriate.
