A mini directory of nature-based activity providers
The Mini Green Book is a directory of nature-based activity providers in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire to support the Preventing and Tackling Mental Ill-health through Green Social Prescribing national programme 2024 to 2025.
This special edition has been put together to help you, as a health professional, make referrals or for you to refer yourself into some very specific green social prescribing activities. The 'mini' part refers to how it has developed from the very successful Big Green Book format, introduced by GreenSpace, which includes a broader range of providers and activities.
These activities are part of the next phase of the national Green Social Prescribing project. Locally led by GreenSpace, this project aims to gather some really strong evidence of the value of green social prescribing in improving mental wellbeing for some specific groups of people.

We will update the book at regular intervals. The latest version can always be accessed from this page.
In this edition, you will find information about various activities and their suitability for individuals with different mental health needs. We have included our GreenSpace mental health levels model, designed to help you match needs with appropriate activities and providers.
Some activities have limited capacity or are part of specific mental health pathways. If your desired activity or provider is unavailable due to these limitations, please contact GreenSpace: greenspace@nottinghamcvs.co.uk
We will help by signposting you to alternative options where possible.
Alternatively, you can explore the GreenSpace Nottingham City Big Green Book and the GreenSpace Rushcliffe Big Green Book, both of which include a broader range of providers and activities.
