“In 2019, the newly formed Epping Forest Heritage Trust received support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to enable us as an organization to ‘Raise our Game’ in terms of management and governance and in respect of our operations, following the merger of two Forest charities.

Several consultancies were involved and we were pleased to appoint Planning Solutions Consulting to undertake a review and develop proposals for our Visitor Centre at High Beach and for Forest wide public engagement activities.

Their consummate knowledge of visitor centres, their very positive engagement with volunteers, Trustees, staff and external audiences enabled us to develop a much informed approach to the options available to us as we develop this area of work in future.” Judith Adams, Chair, Epping Forest Heritage Trust
