Grow Back Greener end of Project
From beginnings of May until September 2021 our Forest School Leaders run twice a week activities at Tivoli Park and Knight's Hill Woods for local families, improving and maintaining the sites, learning about nature and enjoying the outdoors in a time that was most needed, when families were coming out of lockdown and / or isolation.
Before the end of the year we are scheduled to plant more trees and install a footbridge on the Park (more information coming soon) and our families will be maintaining the site during winter and all the way to spring.

Overnight trip to educational farm in Somerset
The Ironmongers' Company is funding this 7 months project aimed at families with children of all ages.
The company's grant is aimed to organisations such as Nature Vibezzz to work with children who otherwise wouln't have access to this type of education, helping them to start a path to fulfil their potential.
In these free activities parents and their children together will learn and practice how to introduce the outdoors into their education: as a tool for inspiration for all study subjects, as a fudamental resource that not only complements any educational curriculum but also rise their children self-esteem, their interest in education, improves behaviour and provide environmental awareness.
