    Story

    Last year Aiden came up with the idea to raise funds to provide woodland activity events as he realised how much his younger siblings enjoyed playing outdoors. There was no other project like this in the area. The Allington Hill, Cooper's Wood and Field Community Group were able to use the money Aiden raised (which was match funded by Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) to employ Dan from Magdalen Farm Trust. We were able to provide six events with free places for up to 40 people. The family activity events reached families in the local community, many of which had never visited the woods or taken part in woodland activities. The aim of the events were to give parents the confidence to create outdoor activities for their children. To give children a better understanding of nature and encourage outdoor play. The events were heavily over subscribed and we had to turn people away. £5 provides a free space for each individual. The more money raised the more places and events we can provide, reaching more families in the community.

      Thank you so much Aiden for coming up with such an inspiring idea. So many local families benefited from it last year. Good luck. Hope lots of people turn up for the amble.
