Health, Happiness & Healing

03/06/23 • 56 min

Martin Little has swapped 'Aggressive Camping' for the more relaxing wild camping experience. In his army days, camping was a necessity and built his resilience. That resilience helped him bounce back from a serious injury after a suicide bomber detonated a bomb which unfortunately killed three of his friends and put Martin out of action for 18 months of recovery before returning to Afghanistan for a second tour. Army life took its toll on Martin's mental health and he soon realised he needed help. This help didn't come as quickly as we'd like to expect and Martin was lucky enough to find healing in the great outdoors.
Getting outside and wild camping soon became more than an escape and he began to share this passion with others and started his own venture in guiding people on wild camping retreats. He has now founded Health, Happiness & Healing, offering wellbeing wilderness retreats including wild camping, breath work and cold water therapy.

Well Mental UK

Julianne Noon, like many of us, was hit hard by the pandemic lockdown. She decided to get out walking in her local area to keep active and lose weight. After posting pictures of her walks on social media, John got in touch and they soon began walking together.
A few small walks and big idea led to the birth of Well Mental UK - an opportunity for people in the local area to join others on group walks. The first walk was a success with 30 people showing up. The group quickly gained traction with more and more people joining them to stretch their legs, chat to new people and make new friends. Less than 3 years later ad Well Mental UK is now a Community Interest Company (CIC), setting up walks for the benefits of physical and mental wellbeing.
