Growth through local GP referrals, social prescribing networks, and collaborations with mental health services.
Community Calm is a not-for-profit, grassroots initiative that offers a welcoming space for people to connect, find support, and take part in nature-based activities. It is open to adults (18+) who may be feeling lonely, anxious, or low and are looking for a friendly, supportive environment in nature.
Community Calm creates a safe and supportive space where people can meet regularly, build friendships, and feel part of a community. Many of our members tell us that attending sessions has helped them feel more positive, motivated, and connected.
Our ethos of ‘principles over personalities’ is rooted in the 12-step recovery model and guides everything we do. We offer a trauma-aware, non-clinical approach to mental health that values authenticity over image, and connection over comparison. In a world shaped by status and surface, we prioritise integrity, compassion, and peer support. Healing here doesn’t rely on being seen or performing wellness—it grows quietly through being heard, accepted, and included. Every voice matters in our shared journey toward balance and belonging.”
Community Calm runs in two peaceful outdoor locations:
A small animal therapy farm in Holyport, within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, offering a peaceful environment for our community activities.
