Railworld Wildlife Haven is a registered charity supported by passionate volunteers. They have created a habitat for nature in a former derelict coal yard in the heart of Peterborough, with over 2000 sq ft of model railways, and walking paths through the lovely environment.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- The project makes everyone feel good for contributing
- It brings people together to work as a team
- It gets you outside in nature
