The Apricot Centre also supports farmers and land-based businesses with nature-based wellbeing therapies and training courses.<\/p>\n
The centre said it supported the mental, emotional and social wellbeing of children, young people, families and farming communities.<\/p>\n
Amir Qureshy, director of quality assurance at the centre, said nature was the best environment to support people in.<\/p>\n
He said: “Most children, young people, families – they’re used to clinical environments, it can be quite intimidating. <\/p>\n
“This nature and environment, the connection with nature, we know from research that in terms of anxiety levels, cortisol levels – all of that comes down.”<\/p>\n
Qureshy added the prince “lived up to his reputation”.<\/p>\n
“He seemed natural in the environment and so from our perspective you know it’s a wonderful connection to make, particularly in terms of his particular special interests,” Qureshy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Apricot Centre also supports farmers and land-based businesses with nature-based wellbeing therapies and training courses.
