Children can enjoy the great outdoors and learn about nature, while parents can meet other families with disabled children in the local area. Sessions include fire building, making bread on an open fire and stick peeling. “My son has complex needs and isn’t able to do very much for himself. It was a success for us today to be able to stay for so long with other families. He smiled most of the time, so that counts as a very good day for us.” “I was so happy to see Rhian playing outdoors and climbing trees. All the children mixed and it was great to meet other parents.” To find out more about Forest Schools, email katherine.wyke@contact.org.uk.
