Fundraising Mighty Oaks began in September 2009 and has been running very successfully for over two years in Swanton Novers Village Hall. All places were filled within the first three months, and we've had a constant waiting list of parents wanting to attend ever since. Serving 26 families every week, we offer an invaluable support group and lifeline to parents of young children. "I'm not sure I would have survived the first year of having a baby without Mighty Oaks! I never knew it could be so hard - and also that other people could be so warm and caring. Thank you Mighty Oaks!" "At Mighty Oaks, I enjoyed seeing warm and solid parent-child relationships. It gave me an opportunity to consider how I want to bring my child up." "Thanks to Mighty Oaks I have much more awareness of how to create a supportive rhythm within my own home which helps all of my family to be happy - most of the time!" Now the average age of the group has increased and our needs have changed. We're expanding outwards into our true home - the woods! WE NEED FUNDS URGENTLY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN! Grants will be applied for, but may take some time. We are currently seeking donations from friends, family and sponsors to help continue our dream.
