The Land and Leaf collective tirelessly works to provide inclusive and accessible Forrest School programmes to all areas of Lincolnshire. Their programmes foster critical connections to nature, offer hands-on outdoor learning and inspire creativity, curiosity and environmental stewardship for all. Their efforts have provided vital childcare, whilst creating jobs, training opportunities and volunteer networks with pathways to employment.
Until recently, the organisation had been operating without finalised legal documentation and needed specialist guidance to meet the demands of the country estate where their programmes take place. Without the budget to seek legal support, their forest schools were at risk of closure.
The charity found themselves in need of expert advice. They came to LandAid with a request to review a lease and accompanying service level agreement. They wanted to ensure the documents met their needs an obligations prior to committing. Specifically, they needed insights into the implications of the lease, and more broadly, advice on whether to proceed or request amendments on their draft.
