I’m Vanessa, the founder of ParkBathe, a community led forest bathing project providing slow, mindful guided strolls in local parks to help people lower anxiety, de-stress and relax in nature. We’ve been going since 2021 (with a published peer reviewed paper) and are currently in eight SE London parks but would like to expand and train more walk leaders up!

Over 1,200 people have enjoyed these sessions and we would like to welcome more people. We support the refugee community, low mobility, vulnerable women, neurodivergent communities and the grief community…

This fundraiser is to raise to match fund a grant to train up more walk leaders, pay for insurance and advertising of our weekly walks.

All of our volunteers give their time for free, so we just need funds to keep the project running smoothly and hopefully expanding into a green space near you!!
