Foreword
The foundational work undertaken by Fathom in its first three years has helped to create a
committed community of arrisans, practitioners and participants. This work has been
evaluated in a rigorous and sensitive mannerfrom a variety of perspectives, and it is
encouraging to see it beginning to be cited, despite our modest efforts at self-promotion. We
know nowthat ourconfidence in our approach is well-placed. A growingstory bank of
personal testimonies offers a glimpse into the myriad ways this projecl has enriched. and in
some cases. we hear perhaps even saved lives. We know that participants areforming
stronger and more creative relationships with their peers. These bonds are made manifest in
the range of crafts and natural habiiats and materials Ihat Fathom has used on ils Making
Well courses, but also in the depth and variety of relationships in our Crafters, Cafes. which
have continued to grow this year. We know that this work creates a 'social return on
investment. and indeed, that it improves health outcomes for people marginalised by illness.
Thiswork has been comprehensively studied and represented this year in a programme
theory by the University ofsouth Wales. based on three of our MakingWeLLcommunities,
each running three eighl-week courses throughout the year. This project continues to be a
source of inspiration and hope. Moreover, it is a reminder that we can recover our humanity
only as we learn to live peaceably with each other and to see that glorious source of life to
which we, and the world around us, bears witness. I was debghted recently to see quoted
these wordsfrom thewelsh poet R SThomas, whose poem 'Lore' seems to capture this spiril
of Fathom so well.
What to do?Staygreen.
Nevermind the machine.
Whose fvel is human souls
Live large. man. and dream small.

Inlroductlonfrom the CEO
The Fathom Trust is a charity comprised of dedicated artisan crafters. volunteers,
ambassadors, and trustees. It aims to achieve its mission by creating opportunities f or
personal and social regeneration through a holistic, community-based approach, known
as Fathoming. To this end, the Fathom Trust have created a nemork of artisan crafters
who provide workshops. materials. and teaching opportunities, to help people suff ering
f rom stress. fatigue, and physical and psychological conditions.
Through its workshops and activities, Fathom Trust seeks to emphasise the importance
of our physical connections to the natural world. instilling a sense of rootedness in
community and landscape. Fathom provides a foundation from which individuals
become more capable of addressing life's challenges. We off er opportunities for people
to reconnect with the deepest aspects oftheir inner selves, which are often neglected in
the hectic rush of modern life, and in so doing. healing the damage caused when those
connections weaken. This year the Fathom Trust has run courses in traditional crafts,
horticulture and conservation for people living in distress with mental health diff iculties.
loneliness. or bereavement. We have extended our Making Well 8-week course to three
separate communities across the South Powys region where adults meet artisans,
therapists and volunteers to participate in projects combining craft. mindfulness and
reflection. We have partnered with Aberystwyth University to run a series of courses for
carers across West Wales and have run a number of courses for local healthcare
practitioners. Our Crafters Café network has continued to grow and we have seen
participants journeying towards emotional, SOGial and spiritual recovery and regaining
their sense of self-worth. Using the Watts Connectedness Scale, we have demonstrated
that Making Well's value is indeed statistically significant, with impressive results
showing the quality and depth of connection that participants have made. We have
continued to develop our academic partnerships too, including with the University of
South Wales School for Social Prescribing Research. Together, we undertook a realist
evaluation of our Making Well courses throughout the year, leading to the production of a
programme theory. Wewere invited to present ourwork atthe Integrative & Personalised
Medicine Conference in Westminster and at the International Congress for Psychiatry.
Wewere featured in the National Garden Scheme Yellow book and have been the subject
of several research and journalistic pieces.
We are confidentthatthe extension of ourworkto different communities and the rigorous
evaluation we have undertaken from ourinception will seNe as robustfoundations asthe
project continues to mature.

Our Vlslon
Our vision is f or a network of therapeutic communities offering a soulf ul approach to
health and healing through craftsmanship, conservation. and contemplation. creating
life-giving connections to body, soul. nature and SOGiety for people who lack aGGess to
traditional forms of care and support. Our foundation programme, Making Well. bridges
the gap between NHS provision and locally available skills and resources. As an
evidenced-based approach. Makingwell teaches participants an awareness of, respect
for, and love of themselves, of others, and the natural world. We work with landowners.
artisans, and healthcare pr8Ctitioners to restore people's sense of f ocus. creativity. and
self-worth. which come wirh the discovery otiheir capacitylo healihemselves and others

Makingwell participant
As part of the delivery of its mission, the Fathom Trust runs an eight-week Making Well
programme that aims to eq uip individuals with new skills while fostering healthy social
and cognitive development for self-empowerment. Historically, the Making Well
programme has offered the experience of therapeutic and traditional nature-based
crafts, horticulture. conservation and mindf ulness within the local natural landscape in
the Brecon Beacons. Wales. The University of South Wales and Wales School for Social
Prescribing Research IWSSPRI have previously been involved in the evaluation of the
Making Well project at this site. which included a Social Return on Investment analysis
The Fathom Trust secured lunding from Arts Council Wales to extend the delivery of its
Making Well workshops to an additional three sites across Wales: Llanfellte. Rhayader
and Ystradgynlais. The funding included the provision of an academic evaluation of this
programme and in January 2024 WSSPR was approached bythe Fathom Trust and asked
to evaluate the Makingwellworkshops at the new sites. This report describes the Realist
Evaluation thatwas subsequently conducted.
Between April and November. the FathomTrust held workshops at each ofthe three sites.
-4 Eachworkshop consisted of one session aweekforeight
consecutive weeks. In total, 42 participants attended
Makingwell. Participant numbers did not exceed twelve
perworkshop.
The Fathom Trust were the gatekeepers to participants
for the research project, who were recruited by
advertising with contacts and organisations local to the
workshops, including GP practices and NHS mental
health teams, and via snowball sampling and word of
mouth. Participants were not recruited directly via GP or
NHS referral. All participantswere over the age of 18 and
classified as members of the general public.

Approach
An iterative process of Realist Synthesis and Evaluation
was used to develop and refine a Programme Theory by
identifying what works, tor whom, in what context, to what
extent, and how & why. The Realist approach provides a
mechanism for the synthesis ot qualitative and quantitative
data. It helps to contextualise the data and identify what it
is about a programme or intervention that brings about any
effects or Ghange.
Quantitative data
Analysis of behavioural measures included only those with
complete data and who had missed a maximum of one
session. Three behavioural measures were collected from
participants before beginningthe Makingwell course and after completion ofthe course:
The South Wales Social Wellbeing Scale {SWSWBSI ' The SWSWBS is a 14-item
questionnaire that uses a 5-point Likert scale Imin - 14, Max - 701 to measure an
individual's social well-being. A higher score suggests greater positive social well-
being. Interest in social well-being is relatively new. which currently limits
cafegorisation of groups within this scale.
The Watts Connectedness Scale
which was developed to measure three
separable su bscale factors of how connected an individual feels to their 'self' to
'others' and to the'world.. The 19-item questionnaire uses a visual analogue scale
{VAS' 0-1001.
The Profile of Mood States IPOMSI VAS
. The POMS uses 72 questionsto assess
transient, fluctuating mood states. The POMS VAS, derived from the
questionnaire. uses six bipolar visual analogue scales {0-1001 to rapidly evaluate
state mood.

Summary of quantltatlve data.
Participants who attended the Fathom Trust's eight-week Making Well course recorded
significant improvements in connectedness. social wellbeing and mood. These
significant improvements were present in the Watts subscales for connectedness to
'self', 'others' and 'the world, as well as all indices for the POMS-VAS bar energy. which
showed a non-significant increase.
Revised Programme Theory (RPTI
The two rounds of data collection provided opportunities for revisions andlor additions to
CMOCS and the Programme Theory. Following the springlsummer round of dala (round
11. the number of CMOCS increased to 74 and the Programme Theory was further
developed. The second round of data collection lautumn/winterl, increased the number
of CMOCS to 154 and the Programme Theory undewent a final revision that revealed a
greater degree of complexity (Figures 9 and l 01.

Summary
Evidence Indicates that Maklngwell significantly improves mood. soclalwell-being.
and feelings of connectedness in its participants. Engagement in the programme
results in personal growth and healing of the participants, which is dependent upon
multiple components that can be categorised as either a precondition,
oper8tionalisation component or output. These preconditions must be present for
the operatlonallsatlon components of the Makingwellworkshops to occur, whlch In
turn leads to multiple outputs that collectively contribute to the growth and healing
of the participants. The operationalisation ¢omponents have a complex positive
feedback relationship with each other. Various outputs also demonstrate a positive
feedback relationship with themselves and with the operationalisation
components. For many participants, attending the Making Well course was a
profound and transformative experience. Making Well provides the opportunity for
partlclpants to actively contrlbute to the development of a safe and supportlve
community where they can feel seen and heard. It gives them time and permission
to reflect. share and gain perspective on challenges they are facing, facilitating a
positive change within them that many had not previously achieved with traditional
support.

The Crafter's Café
Makingwell's value quickly became apparent when participants asked us how they
could continue crafting, highlighting how new friendships and interests were fostering
recovery and reconnection. Collectively. therefore, we produced an Open Door model
for supportive, place-based Graft groups for participants and the wider community. Our
f irst'community Crafters. Café. opened in late 2022, in the ancient Tithebarn in central
Brecon. Café crafts are facilitated by local professional artisans, supported by
enthusiastic volunteers. We welcome around 20 people each week. spanning 7
decades in age. The overall network has grown to over a hundred members on the
Whatsapp groups and another 80 visltors. Many say it's the only time they venture out
into the community, others that it opens them up to other community activities, which
they hadn't previously been confident to explore. The Café is also able to signpost
people interested in working at our nearby community garden or, arrend open-days
promoting our more intensive courses, Makingwell included. We have created an
extensive community network of organisations and statutory services, which offers us
up-to-date insights into community needs and service priorities. We advertise the Café
13

and Makingwell at GP practices, volunteer
organisations IWCVA, PAVOI and community mental
health services.
Fathom Trust's Gommunities were directly involved in
the co-creation and opening of the original Crafters.

comprehend the value of Makingwell to its
participants. curate their stories and embrace their

conceived a model for community-based craft cenlres, reflecting Fathom Trust's
holistic, approach to care through craft. Continuous, multifaceted community
engagement is pivotal towards understanding individual coniexts and needs. and how
to promote wellbei ng and reconnection through traditional craft projects. Engagement

Ecotherapy and Therapeutic Gardening
In 2024The Fathom Trust received a National Garden Scheme Community Garden Grant
to create an apothecary garden so they could expand upon the social and therapeutic
gardening activities already taking place at their hub in the Brecon Beacons. Please
follow this link to an article on the project: bttps://ngs.org.uklthe-fathom-trus
Havinga garden forthe community to come together. learn about plants and their usage,
heritage and history in a welcoming inclusive space is an important part of the green
prescribing that we are encouraging. We have partnered with local GP surgeries and
accept reterrals trom mental health teams and charities like Mind. As well as integrating
the garden as part of the 'Makingwell' course, the hope was that eventually the plants
grown would be able to produce teas. salves, herbalvinegars and oils.
The ApothecaryGarden design has been led byJessTanner, our head of programmes and
a trained eco therapist. Jess has travelled widely and draws on her experience of other
cultures. together with her training with the Natural Academy. to create beautiful.
practical and accessible garden spaces. As a team we work to bring in groups from our
community to help establish the garden. This has included people referred by their GP or
mental healthteam, but also people who have self-referred havingheard about itthrough
Mind. We have had people come from the Police force and probation service, groups
from the NHS, Fire SeNice, head teachers. local clergy. along with children who have

Winter Woodland Wetland Restoration
Funded by the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park Local Nature Partnership Connector
Grant, lanuary-February, 2025
"I really enjoyed the wood carving. Fathom has a way of
making you really relaxed and the whole day really
improved my mood." Kieron Williams, 17 years old
We have long wanted to improve access to a very special.
semi-ancient, wet woodland, which is linked to our main
site by a short track. It is away from any road noise and
offers a unique experience of imrnersion and stillness. It is
home to alder, birch and willow with a hazel understorey
and some chestnut tco. It holds a significant amount of
water which feeds an old mill stream but it has become
overgrown with rhododendron storm-damaged trees in
recent years. With careful work, we set out to improve the
diversity of species and improve access for local
community groups by building a m(xlest boardwalk
through the wood and creating spaces for educational and
therapeutic work to take place. We worked with a number of graduates from the Black
Mountains College coppicing course, some ol whom have cotnpleted our own Making Well
course. We also worked with local school groups and young people seeking preparation for
the workplace.
During January and February, we welcomed 54 children and I I volunteers to the
dingle to help participate in the restoration. The woodland areas across the site have
been enhanced through removal of non-native species and opening up the canopy to
allow increased natural regeneration. To optimise the benefit of this and to avoid
significant negative ecological impacts and le￿1 offences and to provide suitable
protection, mitigation and enhancement to ancient woodland, we followed the
following ecological protection and mitigation strategy:
The woodland areas across the site have been enhanced through ren]oval of non-
native species and opening up the canopy to allow increased natural regeneration.
Old metalwork and debris has been retrieved from the site making it safe. This work
has increased space for bat roosting and wild flower regeneration and has contributed
to a stronger network of leaky dams improving water quality and mitigating flood risk.
We have also gathered piles of organic material serving as bug hotels offering
18

increased shade and shelter for insects. In general, the space is now lighter, safer and
more accessible and now suitable for future educational and therapeutic visits.

This grant has helped us to create a range of co-produced community engagement
including crafters. cafes, a gardening club and community kitchen, a summer camps
for carers, and workshops for carers and healthcare practitioners, run by teams of
local artisans working with healthcare practitioners and health services. In total, we
have supported 28 artists and craftspeople to work with a range of material including
wool. dried flowers, oils, pastels, charcoal, stone, earth, wood, leather, willow. clay
and much n]ore. The opportunities for local volunteers and young graduates from the
Black Mountains College to therapeutically engage in green arts and crafts has shown
us that outdoor learning correlates with enhanced outcomes in wellbeing,
20

concentration, behaviour, memory, and confidence with the added dimension of
nurturing connectedness with nature and landscape.
Narratives of Personal Renewal: a series of retreats for Carers in West Wales
West Wales carers are being given the chance to explore wellbeing through crafting
and creative writing, as part of an Aberystwyth University project.
Academics from the University's Research Centre for Creativity and Wellbeing are
working in partnership with The Fathom Trust, Credu and Carers Trust on a series of
creative wellbeing days for carers. Funded by the Shaw Foundation, the Project aimed
to create a safe but active space for exploring and improving health and wellbeing;
using Lraft and writing activities which offer a way of connecting people to their own
wellbeing.
Dr lacqueline Yallop, Diiectoi of the Centre for Creativity and Wellbeing, said:
-Through the Centre fur Credtivity dnd Wellbeing, we are exploring the multifaceted
concept of wellbeing through creative practice. We have adopted a holistic and
slightly alternative approacli to addressing wellbeing, drawing on the experiences of
makers, artists, filmmakers, and writers. -This particular project seeks to support
young and adult careis across west Wales, by using creative activities which prompt

new ways of approaching, managing and articulating physical or mental health, and
give participants the opportunity to address an(Vor express complex experience and
emotions.
At the first event in the series, a group of caiers took part in creative writing activities
and weaving. The session was led by lo Lambert, a writer and English and Creative
Writing postgraduate at Aberystwyth University, and Clare Clark, Occupational
Therapist working with Fathom Trust. After the workshop, one participant said:
"Whilst I was apprehensive before the session as it was very unfamiliar to anything I had
previously ￿perIenced, I fouiid that the camaraderie that we established by workii
throlwh the activities left nie feeling a deep sense of connection with other people and a
sense ofpositivity towards coping with the usiial challeiwes of life.-
The Fathom Trust World Café Event Staff and seryi¢e user reflections on the
potential integration of health care and nature-based interventions
In October 2024, the Fathom Trust was asked by Dr Kathryn Speedy, a consultant child and
adolescent psychiatrist, to help convene a two-day event in Brecon Beacons. The event
brought together professionals who work in or around mental health and have a
professional interest in the healing effects of nature. The 35 attendees comprised a core
gioup of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists with a common interest in sustainable
healthcare and natuie-based practice. Thi5 group had previously met in England and
Scotland and was joined by a range of other psychiatrists, psychologists, other medical
doctors and practitioners from across the UK. There were also five members of the local
community, each of whom had personal experience of attending one of the Fathom Trust's
Making Well courses. The event provided an opportunity for attendees to learn from each
other. build relationships and plan future collaborations. The World Cafe was one of several
wnrkshnps at the event. It aimed tn gather insights from the group's varied experience af
integrating nature-ba8ed practice intn their work to infom] future cnllab()ration. A
secondary aim was to give the group experience of the World Cafe method as an additional
research tool. This report outlines the methodologry and findings from World Café.
This broad cohort allowed for an interdisciplinary discussion that provided an appreciation
of the perceptions surrounding the integration of
nature-based interventions with healthcare, by
individuals from different sectors, disciplines and
backgrounds, and also helped to identify shared
perceived challenge5 and 501utions. While there wa5
consensus on the healing benefits of engagement
with nature. the group discussions revealed varied
perspectives on whether healthcare and nature-
hased interventinns sh￿Id he integrated nr kept
distinct. Advocate8 of integration argued for a
holistic. flexible approach that empowers patients
with choice, fosters creativity and addresses diverse needs. Conversely, some participant5
22

believed that separating the interventions could enhance individual evaluation and better
track outcomes. Participants felt that holistic healthcare is inherently aligned with nature-
based intervention5, although they did feel that access to natural spaceslresources is often
more difficult lor certain cornmunities. They were able to highlight 5rnall-scale 5ucce55ful
examples of this integration. However. there seemed to be an agreement that there was a
need for clear guidelines, definitions, robust evidence and training to facilitate the
successful integration on a larger scale. There seemed to be a consensus on the need for
cross-disciplinary champions to help address these issues. raise awareness and drive
education on the significance of integrating nature-based interventions and healthcare
approaches for improved global health.

necessary to ensure consislency and to improve the quality and clarity of financial reporting,
