It’s that time of year again….. Secret Santa is back! 🎁

Last Christmas, you helped us give out over 700 presents to young people across Cornwall who may otherwise have had nothing open. This year, we’re hoping to do it all over again…

Even just £5 could help us make sure a young person has something to open this Christmas!

If you’d like to be someone’s Secret Santa this year, you can donate through the link in our bio

And if you can’t donate, we completely understand, just sharing this post helps too! 🎅🏼

A little look back at the last of our Nature Connect sessions with Cornwall Wildlife Trust over the summer 🌿☀️

It’s been amazing to see young people getting outdoors, connecting with nature and trying new things!

And we think this feedback from one parent says it best:
“It’s been so wonderful to see the amount of change made, I can’t thank you all enough.” 💚

A huge thank you to Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and to all the young people who have taken part in Nature Connect this summer! 🌱
