By far one of the most popular has been the Greenwood lodge appeal which raised money for the opening of a holiday home in the New Forest. Greenwood Lodge is a two bedroom lodge cabin within an idyllic woodland setting and just 800 yards from the waters edge at Milford on Sea. Ideally situated to explore the natural beauty of Britains newest national park, The New Forest, Lymington and the Isle of Wight, Highcliffe Castle, Christchurch priory, Beaulieu and Paultons Park. The site offers Gymnasium, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, steam room and health spa. Also on site is a golf club, tennis courts, bars restaurant and shop.

Greenwood Lodge can be booked for one week at a time (Not January) and is available to those who have received a diagnosis of Cancer and would welcome a break away with their loved ones.
