Feedback

  • Screwfix had a fantastic day at Carymoor Environmental Centre refining our sustainability plans. It’s an inspirational location combining the realities of human-generated waste with the optimism of flourishing local nature. Early on in Screwfix’s journey in becoming a more sustainable business, we visited Carymoor and it contributed to the acceleration of our work and commitments in this area. It was great to be back to revitalise and develop our strategy further. We would highly recommend this local reserve to get away from the day to day of work and focus on nature, communities and the environment.

  • In more than 20 years of teaching this was the best trip I have ever taken children on – educational, fun and inspirational!

  • "I felt so welcome and there was an amazing atmosphere at Carymoor. I felt a wonderful sense of belonging. My life has changed beyond anything I could have imagined since I came along to a course and subsequently became a volunteer. I could never thank you enough.’

  • We had a superb day, Natalie was very accommodating with our timetable as we arrived late. We started with the hunter gatherer games to burn off some post coach energy. We loved dressing up and examining the artefacts. The children absolutely loved the quern stones, fire lighting and shelter building. Nothing but positive things to say. Staff and volunteers amazing - thank you.
