The Two Bays Trust - delivering coastal conservation and mental health and wellbeing support on the stunning North Cornwall coast.
Green Social Prescribing has become a big thing in mental health care recently. GSP supports people engaging in nature-based activities to improve their mental and physical health and wellbeing. Shall we start calling it “Blue” Social Prescribing?!
The Two Bays Trust can offer these BSP activities in abundance
This whole venture is a huge community project and we can’t wait to get started!
In collaboration with North Cornwall National Trust, we’ll be carrying out conservation activities all the way from Pentire Point to Tintagel Head…

What People Are Saying about Two Bays
“The Two Bays Trust has aspirations to engage the next generation and their families who will be most affected by climate change and the multiplicity of other issues faced by humans, marine habitats and species. This is vital for community and organisational resilience”
— The Seal Research Trust
One of the aims of the Trust is to engage schools, local communities, visitors and particularly families who have less access to wild spaces in their environment. Coastal projects in a county like Cornwall are very valuable and we can really see this proposal engaging locals and visitors alike to the benefit of their and the environment’s wellbeing”
— The National Trust
“The Two Bays Trust proposal is a valuable initiative to help to mobilise communities to enhance and protect the natural seascape via;
• raising understanding and awareness of the marine environment,
• protecting and conserve what we have,
• and encouraging education and research”
— Cornwall Council

@adrianlangonphotography
With so many incredible events in the pipeline, and all the visitors we are preparing for, not to mention the garden we need to create, and our Coastal Centre to build, it’s all hands on deck! If you have a little time to spare, love our coast and have a passion for wildlife, nature and the environment, and a desire to help and support those in need, please contact us and let’s chat.
The Two Bays Coastal Centre
The Symons family at Trevathan Farm have, exceptionally generously, invited us on to their land, and are supporting us as we construct our Coastal Centre Community Hub. We also have to thank the 3 alpacas who have, somewhat reluctantly, accepted a reduction in real estate!
The Coastal Centre will be the focal point for most of our activities. On site we will host biodiversity gardening sessions, sports activities, art projects, workshops, classes and many other events.
Many thanks to our wonderful local photographers:
@CliffsideKatie, @doon.williams, @mcaseytom, @adrianlangdonphotography, Michael Truelove @foragefishfood and Tom Eddy
Let’s work together!
