Now that's what we call taking fundraising to new heights! 🪂

A huge well done to Andrew and Tom, who bravely took on a skydive for IDAS and raised an incredible £2,253. We have been proud to support IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Services) as one of our 2025 Great Days charities linking safety at the Woodsmith Project to local causes.

Thank you to everyone who helped support their fundraising efforts.

🪂Andrew and Tom from Anglo American took on a skydive for IDAS recently, and raised a staggering £2,253 for our charity! We'd like to say a huge 'thank you' to them both, and to the team at Anglo American.

We were thrilled to be one of the global mining company's charities of the year during 2025, when they generously donated £15,616 to IDAS as part of their Great Days initiative.

We've partnered with Skydive GB to offer FREE* skydives to our supporters. If you're interested in taking on the ultimate challenge for a great cause, please get in touch to find out more - [email protected].

Happy Yorkshire Day! 💙💛

Today, we're celebrating everything that makes Yorkshire extraordinary: its people, its heritage, its landscapes... and the remarkable treasures that lie beneath our feet.

Deep below the North Yorkshire countryside sits one of the world's largest deposits of polyhalite. Born millions of years ago and discovered right here in Yorkshire, this remarkable mineral will help farmers around the world grow food more sustainably for generations to come.

At Woodsmith, we're incredibly proud that a mineral from the heart of Yorkshire will become POLY4, our natural, multi-nutrient fertiliser designed to support a growing global population while caring for the land that feeds us.

Geologists Peter Woods and Rick Smith explain how they played a pivotal role in bringing the value of polyhalite to life.

Here's to the next chapter as we continue bringing Woodsmith to the world.
