Hi

New member here. Phoenix ADHD Project, Coleraine. We currently work with children from 8-18 suffering from ADHD. We are huge into our outdoor activities and currently run a Forest School (Bushcraft) and are in the process of putting our older ones through DofE. Always looking for new activities and experiences.

Thanks

Alan

Hi Alan.  It sounds like very worthwhile, if challenging work.  I'm sure the kids you work with really enjoy getting out there - much like the rest of us!

Hi Guys

Sorry I never checked this, Redleader Forest schools is great fun. Den building, fires, traps, spoon and bowl making and general survival skills. You would be very surprised how responsible 10/11 year olds are with sharp knives.
