Our Commitment

Woodhill Park is committed to supporting our community and protecting the environment. To achieve these goals, we are collaborating with the following local charities and companies.

Nightingale House Hospice

Woodhill Park Estate is proud to support the vital work of Nightingale House Hospice, which provides specialist palliative care for those living with life-limiting illnesses.

We recently hosted The Duke’s Theatre Company’s production of Romeo and Juliet and Shrewsbury High School’s production of The Importance of Being Earnest in aid of Nightingale House Hospice.

Nightingale House Hospice offers its services completely free of charge to patients and their families across Oswestry, Ellesmere, Whitchurch, Wrexham, Flintshire, and as far as Barmouth.

The hospice provides a wide range of services, including an Inpatient Unit, a patient Wellbeing Centre, outpatient clinics, occupational therapy, complementary therapies, and physiotherapy facilities - including a hydrotherapy pool - as well as an ambulance service. In addition, a comprehensive range of bereavement support is available, including specialist services for children and young adults.

Nightingale House Hospice is so much more than a building - it offers a sense of comfort, care, and home for patients and their families when it is needed most.

Horatio's Garden

Horatio’s Garden Midlands was planted by Bunny Guinness in 2019, doing vital work to nurture wellbeing after spinal injury.

Horatio Chapple was excited about his plans to study medicine and really enjoyed volunteering at Salisbury spinal centre in his school holidays. It was his patient research that established the need for a beautiful garden to be created.

Tragically, Horatio did not live to see the garden grow. At the age of 17, while on a science trip with The British Exploring Society to Svalbard, he was killed when a polar bear attacked his camp. He acted with unfaltering courage and lost his life yet bided time for his friends to escape.

There followed an outpouring of love and goodwill with donations flooding in for his gardens to be created around the country. However our local garden costs £90,000 a year to maintain so we are very keen to support the work there.

British Red Cross

We are delighted to support the British Red Cross, which helps people across the world in times of crisis, providing access to such essentials as clean water, food, shelter and medicine, and assistance to those displaced by natural disaster or affected by war. 
The BRC also has a significant local impact, delivering crucial support to those in need within the UK. This includes individuals and communities within Shropshire, such as victims of fire and flooding and the elderly returning home from hospital.

The Garden and Parkland
We have been working with Carma and veterans to plant trees on our organic estate. A specialist on apiculture will be helping us bring bees to Woodhill Park and an expert in rare and heritage varieties of apple, pear, cherry, quince, plum and medlar trees will be involved in the orchard project.
In line with our biodiversity goals Woodhill Park Estate has also launched a habitat restoration project, not only aiming to establish new orchards but also to restore our historic walled garden.
