‘’We tend to think of prescriptions as something medical, but at the Natural Health Service it’s looking at how we can support people in nature.’’ Steph, Natural Health Service Lead
Northern Roots exists to transform neglected land, connecting communities and creating opportunities for all to grow.
This year, visitors will see the beginning of a programme of work that will transform the Northern Roots site for everyone.
Our social prescribing programme designed to support health and wellbeing through providing connection to nature, creativity and community.
Discover an Urban Farm and 160-acres of stunning green
space in the heart of Oldham.
“When I got the Community Champion job at Northern Roots, I felt a huge sense of achievement. The team were all welcoming and comforting right from the very beginning.” Louise, Community Champion
