For Nicola, visiting Japan and being served food by robots is top of her bucket list. She dreams about travelling around England in campervan:bit.ly/3uDs8RR

“At the hospice I like to paint, bake cookies and cakes, or make things. I’ve just made a bird feeder out of a fir cone that I am going to hang on a tree at home so the birds can peck at it. I love animals!”

We all had so much fun at our Siblings Forest Day at Goodwood Education Trust earlier this week!

Our super siblings made crafts using wood, learned how to start a campfire, had a go at using a hand saw, listened out for bird calls, and played on a tree swing 🌳🔥🐦

But since being referred to Chestnut Tree House, they have found it to be the opposite: bit.ly/3TZXQ6d
