Green Health Activities at the Royal Infirmary: Spring and Summer 2025

What’s on

The activities below run each week. No need to book, just turn up and take the opportunity to step away for a short time, switch off and enjoy connecting with the nature around the site, then return to work refreshed and recharged.

Nature Connection and Wellbeing Walks

Join Lou, our Nature Rehabilitation Ranger, for a regular lunchtime walk to support your health and wellbeing, top up vitamin D and connect with nature.

Regular participants have loved the opportunity to switch off and connect with nature and there is plenty to see.

Dress for the weather, we will stick to paved areas with the occasional detour into the undergrowth! If you need additional support to participate, please just let Lou know.
