Much of our work is focused around the words ‘Invitation’ and ‘Welcome’. We try to concentrate on what we do best - providing a safe nature space with fire, food and craft. In recent years we have run projects with asylum seekers, wheelchair users, women in recovery and students from local schools. In 2024/25 took part once again in the HAF (Holidays and Food) programme funded by the DfEE through Gloucestershire County Council. This programme has now come to an end and we are exploring future possibilities with Stroud District Council. We also actively seek to work with vulnerable children from the local community and more widely. During 2024/25 we have established an interpretation trail using QR Codes to encourage wider engagement with woodland users, covering Uses, Ecology and Folklore. We were awarded the Esmond Harris Award for innovation in management of Small Woodland by the Smallwoods Association. We ran a range of public events during the year including our Open Weekend in May 2024, and Open Mic music events in July and August 2024, as we work towards our vision of the woodland being self funding in the long term primarily through venue hire for local groups.
Our woodland management group continued to meet monthly in the woods during the year, and volunteers, local residents and other stakeholders were invited to and attended our Open Weekend. A monthly newsletter is sent via email and posted on our website and users who pay for our facilities frequently feed back any practical concerns as well as their appreciation for our woods and the facilities we provide.
Directors' fees for project related services rendered totalled £8,117 for the year (2023/24: £8,173)
