• Dose of Nature delivers nature prescriptions for people struggling with a wide range of mental health difficulties.
  
  
• Founded in 2019 by Dr Alison Greenwood, a counselling psychologist, their work is rooted in a wealth of scientific evidence that demonstrates the physiological and psychological benefits of spending time in nature.

• Dose of Nature (DoN) delivers an evidence‑based, clinically governed 10‑week nature prescription that reduces anxiety and depression through structured outdoor behavioural activation, guided relational support, and personalised therapeutic plans.

• The model has been proven to be highly engaging for young people who tend to disengage from traditional clinical settings, offering a motivating, strengths‑based, non‑stigmatizing pathway toward improved mental health.

• Results from an independent  randomised control trial (RCT) on DoN’s programme undertaken by LSE  showed a highly significant statistical improvement in participants’ depression, anxiety and life satisfaction scores, outperforming equivalent results from NHS talking therapy.

• DoN is committed to building the case for nature interventions to be included in NICE guidelines as an alternative to medication and traditional psychological interventions.

• DoN is chaired by Sir Mark Rowley, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police since 2022. His interest in mental health arises from recognising how much police work is the tragic result of the failure of the state to provide support to people facing serious mental health challenges. 
  
  
• Chimo funded the appointment of a new psychologist to enable DoN to increase the number of young people it supports annually from 60 to 150.
