Hide AdShe said: "!I loved coordinating the National Lottery funded Flourishing Families project at the ECO centre - connecting families with nature and each other.
"It was a dream project to be part of. The ECO centre is a very special place and I was privileged to see so many 'forest tots' grow and develop.
"As well as weekly sessions for pre-schoolers at the ECO centre, I took nature based activities all across the community; into schools, nurseries and community groups and made so many friends along the way.
"I will never forget how the community came together to support the well-being packs for children over lockdown.

"I want to thank the ECO team and everyone who has been a part of this project for their support."
Paul Charles, director at the ECO Centre, says: "The Centre will, of course, continue to run Flourishing Families sessions until and beyond the project end date in mid-December,. It remains an amazing place to experience, along with all the other projects and activities offered for all ages.
"Our long-term opportunities offer the chance to Volunteer, take part in Adult Education, Autism and Mental Health sessions, enjoy healthy living activities, the hugely popular and long running 'School in the Woods', adult work placements, skills building sessions, the MOVE project, Family Learning, Wild Child school holiday activities, family fun sessions, birthday and other parties and many more throughout the year.
