We want to share a sincere thank you to Dominic Robertson and the team at the Shropshire Star for the fantastic coverage of our upcoming Macmillan Charity Bluebell Walk.
The article, “How to walk in the Shropshire bluebell wood that inspired Shakespeare – and raise money for Macmillan,” provides a massive signal boost for the event. By highlighting the history of Soulton Wood and its ties to the Bard, the Star is helping us reach many more people who want to experience this landscape while supporting a vital cause.

The Bluebells and the Cause
This event is about two things: the peak of the bluebell season in the “Forest of Arden” and raising money for the Shrewsbury Macmillan Fundraising Group. Seeing local journalists champion these efforts gives a real boost to the volunteers and the work they do for cancer patients in Shropshire.
Because of this “shout out,” we are even more hopeful that the walk on Sunday, April 26 will provide significant support for Macmillan Cancer Support.
