A Landmark Moment.. The Opening of Our Forest School Hub One of our proudest achievements this year was the creation and launch of our pennanent Forest School Hub, made possible by an outpouring of generosity, skilled parlnership and community spirit. Our forest school provides free and subsidised sessions to children who are unable to access this type of provision due to financial barriers. This thoughtfully designed outdoor space, featuring natural sealing. planting areas. and a dedicated teaching shelter, Nvas officially opened in Autumn 20?4. The launch brought together partners. funders and families to celebrate what is now a dedicated sanctuary for outdoor leamins environmental stem'ardship and wellbeing. special thank you goes to Newark and Sherwood District Council. Hubbub. Morrisons Foundation, Nottinghamshire Community Foundation. NCC"s HAF Programme, VIY. and Daisy Dady who led the project, whose combined support brought this vision to life. Our staff and volunteers also worked tirelessly to shape the physical Space. infusing it with creativity and wannth. "This magical Space is a beacon of discovery and leaTning lor conservation and natural habitat in the heart of our community.... Our treehouse will be a sanctuary for outdiKJr learning and wellbeing sessions, nurturing minds and bodie5 in harmony with the natural World." The Forest School now runs weekly sessions for children aged 5-16 as part of our Playscheme and youth programme. The space is also being used for community environmental activilies, nature-based mental health support, and skills development. Already. children like J.G. have found it life-changing-gaining trust, confidence and calm in a setting tailored io their needs. Together. we have created a living legacy for learnin& connection, and ecological awareness-a space where young minds can flourish, and community can grow. Financial review Our income has decreased this year. and expenditure corresponds '1th the Big Lottery Funding received in 23-24. that spanned 2 financial )'ears. Demand on our services continues to rise, along with footfall (the iiumber of beneficiaries using our services more often). and we have seen an increase in individuals experiencing the effects of poverty, particularly related to fuel and food poverty due to the cost of living crisis. Our beneficiaries are in desperate need and the pressure on us to fill the gap in public services, in an isolated cornmunity continues to increase. The designated funds are set aside to meet essential future spending such as funding essential building and maintenance costs and social action projects that could not be met from future grant income. We managed our expenditure over the past year by reducing stalring leve15, and reducing operational project delivery spend: in total reducing our expenditure. Page 7
