Friends of Heatree

The Friends of Heatree network has been created to help us continue the work of Heatree Activity Centre in a Christ-centred way. Over the years Heatree has had an incredible impact on the lives of many children and adults through outdoor adventure and Christian outreach. Following the Covid-19 pandemic our aim is to follow God’s guidance in how He wants to use Heatree in this next stage. 

‘Unless the Lord builds the house, it’s builders labour in vain.’ Psalm 127

We cannot build without God’s help and so we invite you to become a Friend of Heatree and be part of this journey...
