The Cadbury Barn Trust organises a range of inclusive and affordable educational and recreational activities in Manor Farm Park, South Birmingham.  Our Summer and Easter holiday activities are well attended and appreciated by children and adults.  Spending time outdoors, learning about the natural environment, engaging in physical and creative activity and having fun with family and friends is important for our mental and physical health and wellbeing.  The grant from the John Feeney Charitable Trust enabled us to provide yoga, arts and crafts, wonderful worms, animal club, tree identification and foraging walks, forest schools and outdoor play sessions with 516 attendances recorded.  “The Forest School sessions are brillant and a great opportunity for children to play, learn and get dirty!”     “The whole family went to see the animals at The Animal Club from grandparents down to the baby.  Even the teenagers were interested while pretending not to be.”
