Centre for Ecotherapy and Corona virus
Update 27th March 2020
With much sadness the Centre staff and directors feel it has become necessary for the Centre to close all sessions for the next 3 weeks.
We encourage our community to maintain their personal well-being within the parameters set out by the government regarding outdoor activity.
During this time we will continue to support our clients, where needed, on the phone, through email or online applications.
If you have any support needs or concerns, or you would like information
about sessions or courses later in the year,
please call 07517 090915 or email info@centreforecotherapy.org.uk
Care for yourself and for each other. Look to, and listen to, the natural world and our fellow creatures to help maintain your balance.
