Company activities and impact

Our Vision "To become the voluntary workforce of choice for woodland management in the National Forest" Our Mission "The purpose of Heartwood Community Woodfuel Group is to increase the supply of sustainable wood fuel, promote a woodland culture enhancing local woodland habitat and provide broader opportunities for community engagement" -Company Growth Membership has continued to grow. This coming season (25/26) we expect to match the number of volunteer sessions, but with more attendees. We have tried to mitigate a potential increase in demand both from existing and new members. We currently have 130 members. The introduction of the sub-groups for Headquarters (HQ) and Nether Hall Wood (a community woodland managed by Heartwood) continue to be a success. The teams work independently; they are both very well supported and reduce the agenda load at the main committee meetings. These sub-groups are open to everyone to be part of, including non-members in the local community. We have continued to consolidate our HQ at Heart Wood. There are more members using HQ, including successful craft sessions and skill sharing. We have confirmation that the medium-term tenure of the site is secured. The group’s overall production capability for making charcoal has been increased over the last year. -Critical Relationships Leicester County Council – a long standing and mutual relationship with the local woodland manager, and we continue to support volunteer sessions at his sites. Woodland Trust as a partner in our woodland management plans. Our main operational site this season (and for the foreseeable future) will be Foxley Wood. We also now manage Nether Hall on behalf of the WT as a community woodland. The Blunt family –Supporting our HQ at Heart Wood and carrying out thinning work (formal volunteer sessions) at Heart Wood and Edwards Wood. National Forest Company (NFC) – Continued support in the form of funding and advice. Relationships through to a senior level (CEO and Director of Operations). Opportunities progressing for work on NFC woodland estate Local people and groups – Darren Abell (National Forest Co-operative for charcoal production), Geoff Clamp (local woodland owner assisted with management of his woodland), Peter Wood (handmade furniture maker supplied with timber from the group), Ian Varley (rustic furniture maker supplied with timber by the group), Ashby Spa WI – well-being events in the woodland, Albert Village Allotments – supplied with woodland products for allotment owners. A more formal commercial and voluntary relationship with Rosliston Forestry Centre. We have carried out tree work for the site manager on a paid contractor basis and lead volunteer sessions on their site. This has also provided an opportunity to work closer to South Derbyshire District Council. The village Hall in Linton for the continued use of their car park during Foxley Wood volunteer Sessions -Volunteer Sessions and events A total of 58 sessions last season with an average attendance at sessions of 26 volunteers. This season there will be 60+ sessions, all currently planned to have between 12 and 30 places available. Our volunteer hours are all recorded and used as match funding for grants – This year we clocked up over 8000 hours since the last AGM. This is a conservative number due to many hours going unrecorded. (If applicable, please just state “A social audit report covering these points is attached”).
