In the space provided below, please insert a general account of the company’s activities in the financial year to which the report relates, including a description of how they have benefited the community. Woodland Wellbeings CIC has provided sessions and courses of Forest School to different parts of the community: to women recently released from prison; to pupils from a secondary special school and to home educated and flexi-schooled children. For children unable or choosing to not access school, we have seen social skills develop, emotional intelligence increase, and ability to reflect on behaviour improve, not to mention some incredible creativity afforded by the woodland space in which we work. For those at the secondary school, staff frequently commented how differently the children behaved in the woods: children who were high maintenance in the classroom were almost a different version of themselves when given the freedom to choose. For the women recently released from prison, the back to basics approach of cooking over a fire and even playing games together connected with them in a powerful way in lives that had become complicated and less than fun.
Our stakeholders are home-educated and flexi-schooled children and their parents; pupils and staff from a secondary special school; women just out of prison from Approved Premises and their staff; the people who work with and around us – either as Forest School leaders or as park and woodland maintenance workers from the council. We pride ourselves on our openness of communication: communication and consultation are done by email and by phone - either messages or conversations. With the groups from the Approved Premises (Adelaide House) we changed the start time of the sessions based on feedback. Similarly, times and days of sessions with the secondary school were adapted to suit the school better. As Forest School is participant-centred we are constantly listening to how the participants would like to shape the sessions and their contents. Similarly, we wish to harvest the passions of those who work with us and enable them to work to their strengths with a group. Additionally, our policies are shared with those with whom we work before they are agreed: it is important that we are all able to stand behind the policies fully and that we are all on the same page. The parents of the Home Ed group were struggling with our main form of communication being email, so we set up a Whatsapp group instead for reminders and information sharing.
