Lodge Hill summer SEND event hailed a success

More than 150 people have come together for an annual summer event at Lodge Hill.

The outdoor centre’s family SEND – special educational needs and disabilities – day, held last month, provided an opportunity for families with a SEND child or young person to enjoy a day relaxing in Lodge Hill’s 32-acre woodland site, near Pulborough, and to participate in the full range of outdoor activities on offer.

Organisers said it was apparent that, following the restrictions imposed throughout the Covid years, demand for the SEND day had increased significantly, with 160 family members taking part this year.

Activities on the day included high zip wire, circus skills, tunnelling, forest crafts and skills, sno-tubing, orienteering, a climbing tower, archery and a nature trail.

Lodge Hill’s inclusive facilities ensure all levels of ability can participate in every activity – see lodgehill.org.uk for more information.
