EyUp! awarded Barnsley physical health and wellbeing team £200 to organise a retreat for service users at the Whitworth Centre in Matlock.
The funding supported 10 service users to enjoy a break away organised by Women Outdoors, where they could relax and recharge. The activities included a guided walk in the countryside to connect with nature and a relaxing yoga and meditation session.
Women Outdoors is an organisation designed specifically for women who struggle to access mainstream activities, giving them a safe and supportive group in the community.
Hannah Burton, physical health and wellbeing practitioner said “The day was uplifting, relaxing and inspired people to want to do more events like this. It created a wonderful calm atmosphere for women and gave them a space to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves.”
One woman said “I enjoyed the retreat so much, from the great location to the activities and amazing food. My favourite part was the yoga!”
