The Trust welcomed residents and groups to our launch and Open Day last Friday. Many thanks to Cllr Dan Brown and Sir Gary Streeter MP for formally opening the hub. Thanks also to the groups and organisations who took the time to speak with the community about their activities. It was good to see the hub so busy and we look forward to welcoming more of the community to the hub in the future.
Please look at the website www.hallbookingonline.com/sherford for more details and availability.

Mobile Library Service comes to Sherford
At last the Mobile Library will be in Sherford! It will come to the School car park every four weeks on a Monday from 1-4pm starting on Friday 7th May. Please see the attached poster for further dates.
A fun flurry of forest school sessions, games, crafts and outdoor fun, Sherford's Easter Holiday Club was a huge success!
Taking place at the Country Park - a stunning slice of green space at the town's heart - the activities were kindly organised and run by Dartmoor Community Kitchen Hub and Sherford Forest School. Part of a project to support positive mental and physical health, and help tackle holiday hunger, funded by Devon County Council.
A great initiative, here's to plenty more forest fun for Sherford families in the future.

Sherford Directory
Please see the attached digital version of the recently distributed Sherford Directory flyer.
The Directory shows
the key amenities, infrastructure and services at Sherford and lets
you know which organisations are responsible for what elements.
Please see a copy of the Trust's recently submitted article to the Sherford Matters magazine. It gives details of the new Sherford Directory which will give residents all the information they need about the structure and organisations operating in Sherford.
The Trust approved a grant application for these wonderful forest school activity packs which families have been enjoying through lockdown. The activities included a seasonal trail with tree identification guides, bird watch sheets, fairy doors, scavenger hunt sheets and clay for leaf pressing.
