Fishbourne Roman Palace is the largest Roman residence North of the alps and like many Arts and Heritage organisations was hit very hard by the Coronavirus pandemic.

In April 2019 mum, Daisy and Ivy visited Fishbourne in anticipation of Daisy's upcoming Romans project at school and we met Nick, who has now volunteered at the Palace for over 10 years. Mum and Nick hit it off and fast forward: we now all volunteer at Fishbourne together as a family!

Fishbourne is very special to our family as it is where we all met and shared our interests together.

Daisy (11) and Ivy (8) are always made very welcome on volunteering days and have chosen Fishbourne Roman Palace as their charity for their Brownie: Charities and Guide: Campaigning badge work. They aim to raise enough money to update some of the activities in the family enrichment area of the Palace, as this is an area they love.

For September and October the girls are organising a series of 6 walks up 6 Iron Age Hill Forts on the south coast wearing our full Iron Age/Roman kit (whatever the weather!)
