It was great to have you! The children were so polite and fun to work with, making great dens, listening to stories about local myths, competing in woodland games and more! We love the video of the slide 😅

☕ A HUGE THANK YOU TO BETTYS AND TAYLORS! 💛
Last week, we were delighted to receive a generous donation of coffee from the Bettys and Taylors Group for our amazing volunteers here at Nell Bank Outdoor Education Centre.
Last year alone, our volunteers gave over 480 volunteer days! 🌿 That’s an incredible amount of time, energy and dedication from people who work tirelessly to ensure every child who visits Nell Bank has the best day possible.
From helping with activities to making magical memories, our volunteers are an invaluable part of what we do, and we couldn’t do it without them.
After all that hard work, a lovely coffee from Bettys and Taylors was very well earned! ☕❤️
Thank you, Bettys and Taylors, for your kindness and generosity, and for helping us show our wonderful volunteers just how much they are appreciated.
Great coffee for great people doing amazing things! 💚
