As a family we never take for granted the natural beauty of the surrounding area and the importance of preserving it.
We feel very fortunate to be able to enjoy the Forest and have been active in voice to maintain the woodlands and the heritage that exists.
I work for the 2gether NHS Trust, helping adults with severe and enduring mental health to achieve and maintain a recovery in their illness.
