Cummins Trees Planting

We wanted to thank Cummins for the hard work they have put in to help us manage the woodland here at The Acorn Centre. We have a relatively new section of woodland, Jane’s Wood, this was planted in memory of Jane Dillon,older sister to our founder Katherine Dillon,who died tragically far too young. During her short life, Jane’s love of horses helped her face many challenges and brought her much comfort. 

Not only does this serve as a living breathing memorial to Jane, but it is also a really beautiful, quiet and private space to explore difficult feelings and express emotions for all of our children, young people and adults too particularly those that have suffered bereavement. 

Walking through this space or simply taking the time to sit on a bench allows every individual who visits,  time and space to feel able to talk about their experiences, share memories and morn their loss, whilst feeling supported.
