A NEW walk designed to help patients, staff and visitors with their physical and mental health has opened at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust’s (GMMH) Prestwich site. The Green Health Walk, which has been constructed by Manchester-based social enterprise, Sow The City, comprises a 20 minute route through the grounds with seven different areas of interest to visit, including a heritage orchard, an allotment, a herb bed, a natural sculpture, habitat boxes and native woodland. The pathway was co-designed with service users and staff at GMMH and aims to use environmental psychology to promote a healing environment and provide a space for exercise, learning and socialising.
