Father Christmas arrived a little earlier than expected this Christmas Eve 🎄
We were incredibly lucky to be gifted a huge selection of brand-new Reebok bags and luggage by local Stratford company First Class Sports International.

They wanted to support Wildwood and the work we do, so after a bit of head-scratching we decided on the best way forward. Half of the donation is being given to the in Stratford, who will be able to pass them on to people in real need — especially those who may have found themselves homeless this Christmas and could do with a boost.

The other half we’ll be selling to raise vital funds for our Wildwood community group, helping us continue to deliver our important twice-weekly talking sessions for men and our workshop days throughout 2026.

If you’re interested in any of the bags, drop me a message — they’re available at half the retail price.

Huge thanks again to First Class Sports International for such a generous and thoughtful gift

A splendid curry at last night to celebrate the end of the year and a fantastic clear up of Morrisons car park. See you on the other side in 2026 boys!

Last night was something truly special.

Huge respect and gratitude to the men of The Wild Wood Connection Project . Together we removed 23 full bin bags of rubbish from the hedgerows around the morrisons car park in — plastic, broken glass, sharp metal, clothing, medical waste… even a discarded hi-fi stereo.

Every piece we lifted was a danger to wildlife and to the stream that runs quietly alongside the car park. But what we were really doing went far deeper than litter picking.

This group exists so men can stand side by side in a safe, non-judgemental space — to talk, to release what they’ve been carrying, and to reconnect with themselves and each other. Purpose matters. Doing something real with your hands, seeing the difference you’ve made, and feeling proud again can be a powerful step in healing.

Having Morrisons support us genuinely levels up what we’re building. When a major local business believes in this work, it sends a powerful message that these men matter and that community care belongs at the heart of our towns.

We’re also incredibly grateful to Rubbish Friends Stratford Upon Avon whose support and litter-picking tools made this possible. That kind of practical kindness turns intention into action — and action into real change.

Watching these men show up, give back, and quietly rebuild themselves is something I’ll never take for granted. I am beyond proud of every single one of you.

Happy Christmas, brothers. 🎄🌲
