Nature, Creativity, and Community Shine at Forest Day at Goodwood

​A group supported by our team enjoyed an unforgettable Forest Day at Goodwood this week, leaving with big smiles, new skills, and treasured memories.

On behalf of James, Ray, Robert, Duncan, Josh, Matthew, Eddie, Tom, Steven, Kirstie, Louise, Hannah, and Carol, we wish to thank Goodwood for hosting a day that celebrated nature, creativity, and wellbeing in the most magical way.

The experience was filled with hands-on activities and moments of pure joy:

• Steven and Duncan took great pride in building a fox den – completely leak-proof – and learning the craft of stick whittling.
• James shone as he shared his wealth of plant and tree knowledge with others, before creating beautiful prints using leaves.
• Josh, Matthew, Robert, Duncan, and Kirstie immersed themselves in making and painting their own wooden “cookies” to wear as necklaces – a highlight for many.
• Ray discovered the bliss of the forest hammock, a rare moment of rest for someone usually on the go, always helping others.

The group also enjoyed some delicious treats, including fresh Goodwood Farm milk, and gathered around the firepit to toast s’mores – a simple pleasure that brought everyone together. As a bonus, the fresh air and full day’s activities meant everyone slept soundly that night.

To top it off, the group made a special stop at the Goodwood Farm Shop on the way home to pick up more goodies, ensuring the day’s joy lasted just a little bit longer.

“This day was a perfect mix of nature, creativity, and community,” said Clare, speaking for the whole team. “We’re so grateful to Goodwood for making it possible – it’s experiences like this that stay with people for a lifetime.”
