## **11. Summary of Main Activities carried out for the public benefit**
As set out in the Constitution of the CIO, the only voting members are its Charity Trustees. When fully operational the CIO will only be able to function optimally with volunteer support.
a) facilitating various activities conducive to good health using principally the natural environment as the medium for the therapies. The CIO continues to prepare the location in North West Wales for these activities. This work includes ensuring the physical environment is both suitable and safe for clients who seek relevant and appropriate therapy for their trauma related mental health challenges. The charity continues to build strong partnerships with specific organisations who engage with the identified clients and who will act as referral sources as appropriate. Work continues towards a practical framework for an Integrated Care Pathway which aims to improve mental health and wellbeing for all service users.
b) the charity continues to develop meaningful relationships with key researchers studying the benefits of nature in addressing trauma related mental illness. This includes exploring the most appropriate methods of measuring progress of patients and to publish the results and so enhance the knowledge base.
c) the CIO is proactive in seeking to improve the public understanding of the social causes of self-harm and suicide and mental illness in general, and uses various social media both to raise the awareness of the challenge before society and share ideas on how to reduce the enormity of the problem through various nature based therapies.
