May Monarch Dose of Nature Charity Donations …

🌿 Supporting Nature, Community, and Legacy: Donations for Queen Hanna’s Dose of Nature & Whitelands Guild

We warmly invite contributions to support two cherished pillars of Whitelands College life this year: Queen Hanna’s Dose of Nature Chairty Organisation and the Whitelands Guild. This donation initiative celebrates the spirit of wellbeing, sustainability, and stewardship that defines our community.

Dose of Nature is a UK-based mental health charity that promotes the healing power of the natural world 🌿. Their mission is to improve mental wellbeing by helping people reconnect with nature—especially those experiencing stress, anxiety, or depression.

🌱 What They Do:

- Nature Prescriptions: A structured 10-week programme for individuals referred by their GP, designed to foster a deeper connection with nature as part of mental health recovery.

- Wellbeing Workshops: Interactive sessions for non-clinical groups that explore how nature can support emotional resilience and overall wellbeing.

- Community Gardens & Green Spaces: They’ve developed spaces like the new garden at Dapdune Wharf in Guildford and secured Pensford Field in Richmond to provide peaceful, restorative environments for the public.

Dose of Nature’s work has been formally recognised in Parliament for its impact on reducing symptoms of mental illness and easing pressure on primary care services. Their approach blends science, compassion, and community—making nature not just a backdrop, but a therapeutic partner.

The Whitelands Guild, with its rich heritage and commitment to service, continues to shape the college’s future through governance, student support, and community engagement. Donations help sustain its mission, fund student initiatives, and preserve the Guild’s legacy for generations to come.

Whether you’re a current student, alumnus, staff member, or friend of Whitelands, your donation makes a meaningful difference. Every contribution helps us grow a more vibrant, inclusive, and nature-connected college community.
