The Thrive Physical Activity & Greenspaces Collective partners (ELGT, Edinburgh Leisure, SAMH & Cyrenians) have come together to support people experiencing poor mental health.

The aim being to prevent or delay the need for more intensive support by enabling people to develop their own meaningful activities using greenspaces. By providing these opportunities PAGs will help people to stay well.

The initiative will involve working with contacts in the different localities across the city to promote meaningful activities for people with mental health conditions through the use of their local greenspaces. The partnership will be working with the Wellbeing Hub teams and other agencies to develop a process of referrals and information sharing. This will involve promoting the benefits of greenspace at community hubs including local GP practices and community centres to help engage with the hard to reach groups.

Support for Carers will encourage and support carer engagement in the design, delivery and review of mental health services across Edinburgh.  Co-producing the project with carers, they will:

• Gather the experiences and views of carers across Edinburgh, who care for a person living with a mental health condition.
• Share the findings from this small study with carers, Thrive Collaborative colleagues and wider mental health services. This information will help us develop the carer engagement service.
• Work with carers, volunteers and service providers to develop an ongoing carer engagement service to support individual mental health services to engage with carers more effectively.
