If you know Barford then you'll know this stunning cedar tree. This was a total iconic symbol of my childhood and something that was very close to my heart. Unfortunately this giant came down out of the blue and the community mourned it's loss dearly. But guess what? I drove past the other day and me being me went and spoke to the owners of the property and they have so very kindly donated sections of this beast to be a part of our Men's mental health art installation on the welcome hills by the obelisk this November! To say I am deeply honored to have this tree be a part of this is an understatement.

As we welcome in September and we wave goodbye to the summer the whole of September is month. We are a weekly mens talking group specifically designed in a non clinical setting to offer the opportunity each week for guys to let off a bit of steam before it builds up and manifests into other things mentally that we are less able to cope with. We are about connection, support, understanding and non judgement. If you are feeling any suicidal thoughts our good friends at and have lots of further support and helplines you can call at any time of the day.

We’ve just wrapped up our very first 3-month pilot — the idea was simple: would even one man come? He did… and he brought more with him!

The response to Wild Wood has been incredible. We’ve seen progress not only in the woodland during our sessions, but also in our wider community and online. We’ve already been featured on the BBC (twice!) and have a cover article in Focus magazine coming soon, after one of their journalists actually joined a session to experience it first-hand.

There are so many positives, it’s hard to take in — but the best news is… we’re carrying on!

✨ This November, for Men’s Mental Health Month, we’re creating an exciting art installation at the Obelisk on Welcombe Hills.
We’re continuing the search for our own woodland block and permanent home.
We’re planning full workshop days with other men’s groups, helping to grow this into something truly powerful for the community.

Your support makes all of this possible — thank you to everyone who has stood by us so far. This is only the beginning.

A couple of weeks ago, reporter Patrick Hollis joined us for one of our project sessions, following up on his initial piece in the . Since then, he’s been working on a feature article for the September edition of Focus magazine. It was a real pleasure having you with us, Patrick, sharing our space and conversations—and of course, we couldn’t let you leave without asking the all-important question: “How are you really doing?”
