Synopsis – Long, long ago when the earth was young and Mother Nature breathed life into the land, it created an idyllic place but then the witches came causing destruction and fear. A sorceress cast a powerful spell trapping the witches inside a mighty oak tree and so they remained for many years until one day, an unsuspecting girl untied the enchanted rope around the tree releasing the witches. What will happen to the children now? Can the witches be defeated?

Yesterday, Dude and the team visited Newquay University Centre Cornwall College for a guest lecture and some well-being visits. The team had a lovely time meeting all the staff and students and telling them all about the vital work that Hugs does. Dude especially enjoyed meeting everyone and the fish!
