Join Vision RCL for Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month! A FREE Men’s Only Coping Through Football session will be delivered at Powerleague Fairlop!

Whilst the main activity is football, the real goal is about social inclusion as many of our participants have experienced discrimination, unemployment, poor physical and mental health and a lack of social networks and support. Participants attending the sessions typically feel a real sense of belonging and self worth and this helps in their road to recovery.

Address: Powerleague Fairlop, Fairlop Oaks Playing Fields Forest Road, Ilford, IG6 3HX

Join us for some autumnal themed nature crafts this half-term! With leaves falling off the trees and conkers all around, autumn is an ideal time to get creative.

With plenty of inspiration provided and information about famous nature artists, you could be making conker animal faces, leaf pictures or taking part in a large-scale art piece (specific activities are subject to availability and can change).

These activities are aimed at 4-11 year olds but are open to all who wish to take part. Adults accompanying children do not need to book a separate ticket.

Join the Forest Education Ranger for a morning tour around Foxburrows Farm. Discover the animals that live here, and help our Farm Rangers by giving some of them their breakfast.

Starting before the Farm is open to the public, this tour will teach you about the animals that we have on the farm, including how some can help to manage the forest. There will also be the opportunity to feed some animals (please note that we cannot guarantee feeding specific animals)

The tour will last approximately 50 minutes. The tour will start promptly at 9am

Visiting a farm is an enjoyable experience, but does carries a small risk of catching infection from animals or the environment, Particularly for those who are young, elderly, immunocompromised or pregnant. Health and safety information will be given at the start, more information here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5cbef14440f0b649e50f9d9e/Farm_visits_

The forest is full of colour during the autumn, as the leaves turn orange and fungi appear it’s the perfect time to walk and explore the site. Join our Forest Education Ranger for a walk as you take in the sights sounds and smells of autumn in the forest.

This guided walk will take around 90 minutes at a gentle pace. We will use the main paths, but also some smaller paths to see some of the features that are deeper into the forest. Please wear sturdy shoes/boots as these paths are likely to be uneven and muddy. If you have any access requirements please get in touch and we will do our best to chose a route that is suitable.

No experience is needed and this walk is open to everyone over 14 years old. Please note that Hainault Forest has a no foraging policy, and that collecting mushrooms is not permitted on this walk.
