community mayhem raises money for a fantastic new playground

september 2019

Residents of our local village (Astwood) were keen to raise funds for their new play area and so Wild For Life agreed to hold a two day activity club, where all proceeds went straight to the play area fund.

​

We called the event Mud and Mayhem and hosted more than 40 children across two days, literally using a field, our bell tents and nature. It was hot, there wasn't much mud, but there was plenty of mayhem! 

​

Outdoor cooking, tie dying, bird box building and bug hunting were just some of the activities on offer. 

"what a great 2 days my son had. it gave him the chance to meet other local children and he loved making his gladiator suit from cereal boxes! ... our recycling has become a new source of things to play with"
