Forest School and Mindfulness for SEN children

Hello to you all, Thought it was time for an update!

So thanks to you all we are very excited to tell you that we are now fully booked 4 days a week for this August!

Our new gate and fence make such a difference, schools and settings can bring their 'runners' and we all feel safer plus we look more professional!

During term time we are busy 3 days a week with a disabled respite care provider and toddler group, 3 disabled schools and a care trust all coming regularly. Locally everyones budgets have been cut so we try so hard not to charge our participants. Our upkeep charges to keep the ground suitable and safe plus the portaloo are our min outgoings which we need help with.

To those new visitors here, my name is Alex and I am fundraising to realise my dream of creating an exciting forest school and outdoor resource venue for mindfulness and well-being primarily but not exclusively for SEN children aged tots to teens. We want to continue offering this free to our users. We have been going eighteen months now and are so thrilled to find out that Briarsfield is much needed and enjoyed.

At our peaceful field in Chobham, Surrey, we have provided the basics of a lovely mud kitchen and tots natural play area, a sensory circuit, den building areas, a swing, sensory hammocks and activity tables. We also have 2 therapy mini shetlands ponies who are proving very popular!
