So… something a bit special happened last night.
We were invited to the Blue Heart Awards with Everton in the Community… and we won the Charity Champion Award.
For the free woodland sessions we’ve run for hundreds of their participants over the last couple of years.
Safe to say it was a surprise, and a bit overwhelming if I’m honest.
When I started Laurel’s Wood 3 years ago, the aim was always to reach people who face barriers to nature. That’s what drives everything we do.
EitC understood that from the very beginning and helped us run with it. The work they do across our city is incredible, real, grassroots impact, and I’ve learnt so much from being around it.
To be recognised by them, and to play even a small part in what they do, is something I’m really proud of.
Still lots more to do.
(From a red… a piece of my heart will always be blue 💙)
