Other fundraising events during the anniversary year included the popular annual Chefs’ Night, a Vineyard Tour and Wine Tasting and the inaugural 10k Trail Run held on the pathways of the Beaulieu Estate. e Countryside Education Trust’s overarching mission is to connect people with the countryside, with an introduction to country living, rural cra s and wildlife. In addition to o ering a wide range of day courses for children and adults in the local area, there are residential courses for children from inner city schools, held at the charity’s Home Farm base, where the children can experience daily life on the farm, collecting eggs from the hens for breakfast, helping with animal feeding and picking their own vegetables from the garden. Close by, in the ancient woodland the charity has two habitats to teach a wide range of environmental and bush cra activities. Jane Cooper, Chief Executive of the Countryside Education Trust, said: “We are enormously grateful to our Fundraiser-in-Chief, Jan Hoy, who has led her team of volunteers over much of the last 50 years! Our volunteers make such a difference to our work – whether helping with fundraising, on the farm, or as an extra pair of hands during events – we really couldn’t do what we do without such support. If anyone would like to find out about volunteering, please get in touch. We are always looking for people who want to make a difference, and we can promise a variety of interesting projects and plenty of cake!” For more information about the CET please visit: www.cet.org.uk Treehouses.
