We’re building meaningful partnerships with NHS services, mental health charities, GP surgeries, and social prescribing teams. Together, we can offer calm, outdoor-based support for those who need it most.
At Reel Wellbeing, we’re building a simple but powerful model of community-based mental health support — one rooted in nature, human connection, and calm, accessible activities. Based in Somerset, we offer outdoor wellbeing sessions designed for adults who may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, social isolation, trauma recovery, or emotional distress.
We are currently seeking partnerships with NHS mental health services, Primary Care Networks, GP surgeries, social prescribing link workers, and mental health charities who are looking for meaningful, low-barrier support options for their service users.
Our sessions are not clinical interventions, but they are deeply therapeutic. By offering time outdoors, light activity, and supportive human presence, we provide a safe environment for people to feel calmer, more connected, and more in control of their own wellbeing.
Reel Wellbeing was created to complement — not replace — existing health and social care services. Our sessions are informal, free at the point of access, and designed to serve as a preventative or supplementary wellbeing offer within the wider ecosystem of care.
We recognise that not everyone feels comfortable in formal settings, nor does everyone respond to traditional models of intervention. Some people need something quieter. Slower. Less structured. Something that simply gives them space — to think, to talk, or just to be.
That’s what we provide.
While fishing is one of our core activities, it is not a requirement — and never the focus. Our sessions are about creating connection, not competition.
We welcome individuals to take part in ways that feel right for them. Some choose to fish. Others prefer to take part in light outdoor activities such as gardening, wildlife watching, nature-based crafts, or site care. Many come simply to sit, talk, or enjoy the natural surroundings in peace. All of these ways of engaging are equally valued.
Importantly, all equipment is provided, and no previous experience or physical ability is required. Our facilitators are trained in trauma-informed approaches and understand the value of flexibility, respect, and quiet presence.
We’re inviting professional partners to join us in shaping a service that meets people where they are — gently, respectfully, and without judgement. Our approach can support your work by:

We are especially keen to connect with organisations operating across Somerset, where our sessions are based.
We are open to a variety of partnership models, including:
We're also happy to develop tailored activity strands for specific populations or needs — for example, quieter sessions for those with sensory sensitivity, women-only spaces, or gardening-focused days for those not drawn to fishing.
If you’re interested in exploring partnership opportunities — whether through referrals, collaboration, or joint project development — we would be pleased to hear from you.
Together, we can create gentle, effective, community-based options for people who need support, but may not know where to turn. Reel Wellbeing offers something simple but powerful: space, nature, time, and understanding.
