Who are we
We connect people with a Space Outdoors to create a Space to Talk.
We are a non-profit social venture with a mission to promote the well-being of individuals through connection with nature. Our main objective is to offer opportunities for people to experience the therapeutic benefits of being outdoors, which includes fostering self-confidence, empowerment, and a sense of autonomy.
We cater especially to those new or hesitant about outdoor pursuits, ensuring their journey into nature is both enriching and inspiring.
Combining walking and talking while in the setting of nature amplifies their benefits. With its inherent beauty and tranquillity, nature has a unique ability to soothe the soul and rejuvenate the spirit.
Our Mission
We strive to demystify mental health. In simple terms we believe it is okay to not be okay and that being able to talk about our worries or concerns is fundamental to our wellbeing
Our Vision
We believe that authentic peer based support can enable people to discover connectedness, hope, identity, meaning and empower them to manage their mental wellbeing
Our Values
We promote authenticity, only provide trusted evidence based support and empower individuals to take ownership of their wellbeing
In the heart of the community
Space to Talk is actively engaged with the Delapré Abbey Wellbeing Hub. With invaluable support from the Abbey Trust, we have successfully established drop-in support groups and walk & talks for the local community which are now a fixed feature for the wellbeing hub.
Our Outdoor Activity Programme
Our base for our outdoor programme is the small Westmorland village of Crosby Garrett in the Eden Valley. A hidden gem located between the North Pennines (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and the Lake District. To the south is the Yorkshire Dales National Park. From our base we have access to the Westmorland Fells, criss crossed with walking routes, rural tracks and historic disused railway tracks.
