Hello! My name is Anayah-Israel, but you can call me "Biscuit". I'm 2 years old and I live with my Mummy Sarah, my Daddy, Deji and baby brother Judah, in Nottingham.

Sadly, the NHS have minimal therapeutic hands-on involvement which I really, REALLY need. So, Just4Children are fundraising for my on going treatment which so far has helped to pay for an intensive NAPA (Neurological and Physical Rehab) programme in September 2022 (which helped me with my sitting, core strength and swallow).

We're now planning a huge Stem Cell therapy trip to America in June 2023 which will also include a 3 week therapy intensive with NAPA straight after treatment and continued physio, Speech and language, ABM, PBM and HBOT.

Put on your walking shoes and step into Sherwood Voices!

Get your headphones ready, put your best foot forward, set your own pace, and join us on our journeys into the heart and soul of the Sherwood Forest area. . .

As the saying goes, you can’t truly understand someone, or the place that has shaped them, until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes. That’s why we’ve created a series of six audio walks, written and directed by Excavate's Andy Barrett, and led by Sherwood people, who will take you on a journey through the stories and culture of the Sherwood Forest area.
