Whittling and Wellbeing Fire Circle

Join us for a chilled day involving a listening and whittling fire circle in the springful woods of Landmatters.

This is a chance to listen to and be heard by all entities in the woods.
A chance to be creative (physically and more) and make something out of wood that feels perhaps representative of something in our life, or something we want to bring into our life… or just something to fiddle with.
A chance to be held so we can feel into ourselves in perhaps a slightly deeper/intentional way than in every day life.
A chance to witness other people’s experiences/perspectives so we can widen our own perception and highlight things for ourselves.
A chance to connect with others by being in the woods, making things with the hands, and council.

£5 deposit solely for commitment due to catering. This will be refunded.
Lunch provided. Soup, bread and salad. Dietary option's available. Tea and other refreshments included.

Tools provided.

• The #iwill Fund is made possible thanks to £66 million joint investment from The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to support young people to access high quality social action opportunities.
• The #iwill Fund brings together a group of organisations who all contribute funding to embed meaningful social action into the lives of young people.
• The #iwill Fund supports the aims of the #iwill campaign - to make involvement in social action a part of life for young people, by recognising the benefit for both young people and their communities.
• By bringing together funders from across different sectors and by making sure that young people have a say in where the funding goes – the #iwill Fund is taking a collaborative approach.
• SNG (Sovereign Network Group) is acting as an #iwill match funder and awarding grants on behalf of the #iwill Fund through the SNG #iwill Fund.

• The #iwill movement is a collaboration of over 1000 organisations and 300 young #iwill Ambassadors from across the UK. They are united by a shared belief that all children and young people should be supported and empowered to make a positive difference on the issues that affect their lives, their communities, and broader society.
• #iwill was launched in November 2013 after an independent review into how different sectors could help more young people to make a positive difference.
• The #iwill movement is supported by an independent coordination hub, hosted by Volunteering Matters & UK Youth.
• Take the lead by signing up to the Power of Youth Charter at www.iwill.org.uk or follow us @iwill_movement on twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn.

We are the largest funder of community activity in the UK – we support people and communities to prosper and thrive.

We’re proud to award money raised by National Lottery players to communities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and to work closely with Government to distribute vital grants and funding from key Government programmes and initiatives.

Our funding has a positive impact and makes a difference to people’s lives. We support projects focussed on things that matter, including economic prosperity, employment, young people, mental health, loneliness and helping the UK reach NET Zero by 2050.

Thanks to the support of National Lottery players, our funding is open to everyone. We’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of local groups right up to UK-wide charities, enabling people and communities to bring their ambitions to life.

National Lottery players raise over £30 million each week for good causes throughout the UK. Since The National Lottery began in 1994, £43 billion has been raised for good causes. National Lottery funding has been used to support over 635,000 projects - 255 projects per postcode area.
